the problem isnât that GMOs exist itâs that all GMOs that exist are either sprayed with 10x pesticide or are GMâd to make their own super potent pesticide

Golden rice does neither of these two things. Not that the facts matter when it comes to our irrational fear of gmos.

what % of GMO biomass does golden rice constitute
EatATaco@lemm.ee â¨2⊠â¨months⊠ago
More than none, which is enough to disprove your claim.

What hello Kitty was trying to say is that most people are not objecting GMO but the way itâs used under capitalism, either to sell more pesticides (e.g. glyphosate), to make farmers dependent on seeds via patents, or both. Just because thereâs highly idealistic research doesnât mean itâs compatible with our current system.

Golden rice doesnât actually exist, not in any meaningful sense

Itâs widespread adoption, almost certainly resulting in the unnecessary suffering of millions of people, has been hampered by anti-scienitific fanatics. So letâs not confuse that with there being something wrong with golden rice or it not existing.
But if that isnât enough, we have fast growing salmon, non browning apples, and pink pineapple which are all gmos on the market that donât have to do with pesticides or pest resistance. If we include ones that are simple resistant to viruses, then the lost grows substantially more.
