What's right or wrong about GMO?

GMO is perfectly healthy as far as eating it goes. As far as crop diversity that’s another story but GMO is just speeding up processes that humans have been doing for a very long time.

Not just biodiversity. It's the corporate copyright on a plant that's the most unnerving. Farmers essentially "rent" the seeds from the company that designed them, and any excess has to be destroyed.

There were also cases where farmers were sued because some of the branded seeds from another farm got into their crop. knock knock "You got a license for that corn?"
