No, it's not. GMO still is out there in fields. Why do you assume people are talking about selective breeding ? Also, GMO is not only based on CRISPR, why do you keep bringing that up ? Gene insertion was done before, although the rand

Yeah, too bad we feed most of our cattle with south american soy though...

Firmly believing that we got there without the use of GMOs when it's not the case at all. And this thought is sadly very common. Maybe anti-GMOs movements that might lead to believe that they are not used yet and that it's still c

But in the decision of not having them, it's rather common.

Because all cultures have sex discrepancies and a tolerance to infanticide so that would be the outcome everywhere on earth ? And how can it be a problem only in poverty ? Doesnt the average American consume like ten fold what the average I

That looks and reads bad. I don't even get the point of the initiative :( Not what I'm looking for at all it seems. I just want company names that actively discourage/limit flying their employees.

Why this title ? Also, low number of respondents and considering the survey went through his own twitter with a Climate Code idea, probably very biaised sample. However, I'd totally favour a company with a flight offsetting policy. Can

But what mass of humans is treated compared to the mass of livestock with these ? What type of antibiotics ? Fallacious comparison, you need more data.

I have a hobby, I own a horse which takes 3 hours daily and is a very powerful stress relief. I’m not overly sensitive to stress in a professional setup anyways. That’s also why I think I have a decent profile for such niche requirements. B
