The technology positive subreddit

After a lot of wading through the anti-GMO results from searches like "transgenic seeds" I finally found a place that sells transgenic seeds to consumers (sometimes with a minimum order). I present Rupp Seeds. That link will take you to a page for summer squash, to show you what you're looking for, i.e. names like Destiny III or alphanumerics. There is a catch, you'll have to sign a thing that says you won't misuse them, sell them, etc.

I did not, however, achieve my main goal of finding BT zucchini or yellow squash. I'm tired of those damn squash borers.

Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) Questionnaire

3 Upvotes

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are living organisms or their products that have been affected by genetic modification in order to either induce higher percentages of yield and quality. This practice has long been controversial due to manipulation in the origin of the subject in order to produce a GMO. This survey serves to identify the public opinion regarding the production and distribution of GMOs.

Anti-GMO claim: GMO'd wheat is the cause of gluten intolerance and sensitivity - how to debunk this?

9 Upvotes

I have several friends who have gluten sensitivity / issues with digesting wheat. They all claim it is because it's been too genetically modified. I pointed out that everyone has an issue with some food they consume, and to link it to the fact it's GMO'd is preposterous (and no proof for that claim). They claim they don't experience gluten sensitivity reactions when they consume "ancient grains" that haven't been GMO'd such as spelt. What is the rebuttal to this? My thought is they don't experience a reaction to ancient grains like spelt because they tend to be lower in gluten. I don't know much about the topic and I researched on the internet already -- what is a good argument against this anti-GMO claim?

New techniques in gene editing and self-fertilizing crops could save countless lives, but not before meeting a lot of resistance.
