Fun fact, out of the thousands of crops grown in the us, there are only 10 that are GMO in the US. In many, if not most cases, there is zero need to genetically modify a crop. Selective breeding and human influince has done all we need to do. GMO is a tool in the tool box, but the media has made a spin that everything is becoming GMOs and we should all be afraid. When in reality, there are only a few that are used, mostly for non human eating/consumption. GMOs arent the enemy, "Non-Organic" isnt the enemy, its the media that spins everything into a fear based ratings machine. There are bad practices by bad companies, and they should be delt with, but the Technology and Science is sound.

You are right about that! In my dark past, I worked for one of those bad companies as a plant biologist. I have seen their power and I agree that media isn't helping. There is indeed nothing wrong with GMO.... they are actually the same thing as a hybrid, it just takes more generations to create a hybrid..... but it's all the chemicals and seed sterility and ripping off framers that comes with it... bad bad bad industry.
