soggy-cheeto:quantumheels:pyronoid-d:escapedosmil:nizzlekicks:When you broke but you wokeWait… Guys what?Is this what you guys think it means when GMO comes up in conversation? Do you know what else is a GMO? Dogs. Literally ALL dogs have had their genetics modified to make them more docile, loyal, trusting, energetic, obedient ect. Ears of corn used to be the size of your thumb. Through selective ‘breeding’ we chose the strains of corn that were the biggest, fastest growing, most resilient ect. Ect. THAT is a GMO. I don’t know where the idea that genetic modification meant they’re injecting your food stuffs with chemicals to change its DNA. That’s not how it works. However, they ARE spraying your veggies with pesticides and that is something you should be worried about. Companies like Monsanto are evil. But not because they are breeding crops to feed more people. But because they’re monopolizing the farming market, sueing farmers who share a geographic area and have some of the same strains of crops in their fields because of unavoidable cross pollination and lying about their business practices.This is Norman Borlaug. In 1942 he received his Ph. D in plant pathology and genetics. In Mexico, he developed semi-dwarf, high-yield, disease resistant varieties of wheat. A genetically modified food. He introduced these to Mexico, Pakistan and India, resulting in double the wheat yields in a 5 year span. In 1970, Borlaug was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, for saving one billion lives from starvation, and contributing to world peace through increasing the world food supply.Genetically modified food is great.This post is a great example of how misinformation is spread so easily on social media.Guys, although it is sometimes hard to tell, be wary that anything you read on social media could be fake news.Fucking thank you, I fucking hate it when ppl are super anti-GMO, like…. do you even know what you’re talking about???????? -- source link
