Ok… but the reason why people don’t like GMOs is because they’re bred to be doused in pesticides. They also can cross-pollinate with non-GMO’s to create non viable seeds among other things.

*Some

Is the keyword, GMO purposes can be vast, and not all are just for pesticides or non-fertility.

Some are even used to be more pest resistant so it can be less reliant on pesticides.

GMO is a misconstrued term much like free range or grass fed or no trans fats.

Don’t step on the rake.
