Reply #18: I've changed my mind on GM seed

[txlibdem]

I used to think the opponents were just crying little babies intent on getting their way.

But then I started thinking about the viability of 2nd generation GM vegetables (some GM plants cannot reproduce from seed, you need to purchase the seeds again from Monsanto or whomever). This maximizes profit for the corporations but if there is a local or regional collapse in an area where GM plants are predominant, there will be widespread famine and death. Compare that to an area where natural seed is viable and plants can be cultivated naturally -- no famine, no starvation.

I've completely reversed my opinion and vehemently oppose the so-called "Franken-food" produced by these corporations.
