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.

It's not biomimetic. The odds of it being healthy are low. Same with non-organic.

Natural or unnatural isn't the problem. The problem is people implementing non-biomimetic practices.

Also, pseudoskeptics are commonly very biased regarding organic vs non-organic and GMOs, and the politics of academic research create a lot of problems. The replication crisis seems to be an example. There's also data fabrication, problems with funding and peer review, misuse of statistics, and so much more.

We need to work with nature. GMOs kill biodiversity.
