what a worthless thread
what a worthless poster

GMO sounds good on paper until you realize we already have perfectly good crops as it is. Real world GMO is only used for DRM. It's the agricultural version of Adobe products that you can never buy, just pay rent for over and iver, forever. Great for the IP lawyers, zero advantage for anyone else

And why do you think that is, you stupid fuck?

Coventional selection which shills falsely claim are exactly the same as transgenic modification to the amusement of others

It cannot be both better than and exactly the same as something else, short bus

Nothing you quoted is wrong or cringey, but something about the format of your post makes me think you think it is.

STFU

Lose some weight, you probably can't because of them GMOs

increased yields, better weather resistence, and a few other things. sure the crops we have now are fine but, as population increases and farmland decreases higher yields and not having to be as picky about what can be used as farm land, are pretty important. it's not really a factor right now, and isn't likely to be for some time. however gmo is still relatively new technology and is a long way from perfection. better to get all the kinks worked out before it becomes a nessecity

Didn't even need to make a good strain, cucks.

the definition of "good strain" is the one that maximizes revenue and incentivizes farmers to buy other products from your agro-portfolio

The only lawsuit that didn't get thrown out immediately was the one in Canada where they discovered something like 70% of the defendant's crop was pure GMO strains, and even then all the guy had to pay was court costs and some fees.

Sometimes that works in reverse when Monsanto settles with farmers for 750 million since their GMO frankenstein contaminated their crops and they were unable to export them since first world and many third world countries ban them. Only banana republics like the US where multinational corporations own congress and the FDA/USDA are they permitted.

You misinterpreted his post. There's nothing wrong with GMO foods, just how GMO foods are being produced and distributed (in terms of the law and industry practices surrounding it, not genetic modification techniques themselves).

And he looks flush with cash as well so he's clearly growing bumper crops year after year.

>>9035319
He looks the same or better than the average american corporate stooge laborer leasing 5000 acres and buying monsanto GMO seed and industrial poisons. ConAgra executives in business suits aren't farmers, anon.

This is an interesting thread because in order to appear educated on the topic you have to profess like you have knowledge of the most flyover of pursuits: farming.
What'll it be seekay? Will you be a lame flyover or will you risk not being the most intelligent anon in the thread.

So pretty much the same drawback as strains developed by conventional means?

Bunch of fucking pseudointellectuals and hippies here.

>regulate your market and give government more power
Oh yeah, sounds fantastic.

>>9035709
How naive

The government is supposed to work for the people, not for the HFCS lobbyists

>>9035709
>regulate your market

That's what big agri-chemical-medico-pharma-insurance do, numbnuts. They want the best of both worlds. They write the regulations that ensure there is no competition!

Just go try to get a quote from a hospital on how much they would charge for an appendectomy. You will not get an answer. They charge whatever the fuck they want because no other hospital will give a quote, either. Goddamn, we trully are suckers and fools. We surrender our freedom to corporations because they let us have muh popguns.

The important thing is that you found a way to feel superior to both

I never really understood this GMO fight, because I live in yuropoorean post-socialism shithole, in which organic stuff, which is a meme in America, is considered normal around here, and some could even argue it's actually cheaper.

I guess technically it becomes GMO fertilizer.
