Do people on here grasp how much more expensive food would be if not for GMO tech?

A huge increase in the population with no actual increase in farmland would in a vacuum cause a catastrophic increase in food prices. More mouths to feed with no increase in actual soil and seed to meet those new mouths.
muh evil gmo has prevented that catastrophe.

If advanced space aliens are watching us from outer space, they are laughing their asses off at the anti-gmo types.

The reason for a huge increase in population was the deployment of GMOs to developing nations, in addition to our own increased crops being sent to them as aid.
That said, I have no qualms with certain GMOs, only how them being treated as intellectual property has been used to frick small farmers over.

Decrease corn for additive purposes and the net gain for useful land is a wash. Processed foods are killing us.

GMOs are great. The dumbfricks who are against it want to take land that could feed 1000 people with gmos and use it to feed 100 people.

how exactly does it frick them over? if you developed something wouldn't you want to make money off of it? when the seed is bought you sign a contract that you won't keep any for seed.

Craig has a strong opinion, for obvious reasons.

Soy is another great example of wasted farmland.

I'm not going to go in to a tangent about IP, but there are cases in which a non-sterilized GMO strain has populated the fields of a non-GMO one and the farmer of the latter has been brought to court for improper usage.

I avoid non-gmo products.

You can't spell GUMBO without GMO

Hydroponics and aquaculture you stupid frick. I understand how this might be hard to wrap your head around when your diet is based off cow and potatoes.

That must be pretty difficult to do. Most GMO products are commercial crops.

Yeah, they try to treat open fields as if they exist in laboratory conditions. It's pretty messed up.

Let me clarify: something that is GMO by laboratory testing and commercial implementation, not by human selection and breeding.
