"All-natural" labels on food are meaningless. Let's get rid of them.

"Traditional crop breeding" isn't nearly as traditional as you think

Someone posted this a while back -- could have been you.

The anti-GMO crowd are idiots, just jumping on board without thinking. Essentially what the Warmists have done.

It is a matter of time before they claim 97% of scientists agree that GMO crops are dangerous.

Fruits and vegetables have changed a lot since the onset of agriculture 10,000 years ago, as generation after generation of farmers artificially bred crops to select for more desirable traits like size and taste.

BS. Ever taste a tomato grown in the garden and then tasted one from a store selected not for its size and taste but for its shipping capabilities.
