So what if they modified the genes to bear more fruit or resist pests or disease? It's literally not going to hurt you.

It's like in Pokemon you can spends days farming eggs and doing IV breeding, or you can just use a program and make a legal hacked pokemon in a few minutes >_> The end result doesn't change anything lol

People tend to have strong opinion of things they barely understand. Those opinions are based on assumptions and wild guesswork or plain ol fear of the unknown and have no desire to learn, only to speak loud about it.

Nintendo's servers cant tell hacked from legit when transferring to the Pokebank. Hell, even their own tournaments can't tell hacked from legit. That should tell you something >_>

Because they are dumb as shit. There has been nothing proven about ill effects. And millions and millions and millions more people would be without food if not for GMOs.

Monsanto is a corrupt company, but that doesn't make GMOs bad.

I understand the issue as being about more than just food.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food_controversies

I think few legit controversies are monopolized nature of this foods, economic impacts, etc.

Regular farmers without the tech, resources, and knowledge will get wiped out, or forced to sell landcto corporations in trade of able to grow their licensed gm seeds amd stuff.

Scum companies like nestle/Monsanto, etc will even gain more power

I respectfully disagree. Growing crops isn't that hard.

Neither is breeding Pokemon, but if there's a way to speed it up without any harm, why not?

While this is valid, there are far too many people who think it has something to do with a health risk. They either think GMOs are some kind of chemical like a pesticide or preservative, or they know what it stands for and think something that has been genetically modified is going to heave some kind of residue from the modification process, or will have been modified into something inedible, or even more idiotically, will modify their genes by consuming it.

I actually read somewhere that under certain conditions, they can modify your DNA.

But that those rare conditions apply equally to any food, gmo or not, that contains DNA. (Dont eat fruits and veggies!)

lmfao, farmers can still make a good profit off all organic crops. It's however more work. Also farmers aren't forced to sell their land to corporations.

Not really, only time they've 'gone after farmers' has been when trait patent agreements have been blatantly broken.

GMOs and lab grown food can solve world hunger and make up for loss of crops and animals due to our human destruction. Unfortunately, people just know about Monsanto and how scary chemicals sound and come up with stupid opinions. They don't realize most of what they consume is modified. IIRC the bananas we eat are complete mutants.

They do neither of those. Bees absolutely could not contaminate an entire field with GMO pollen lmfao.

What do you want? Watermelon? Herbs? Butterfly supporting plants? Other edibles?

Go buy 100 acres of land and make a profit off of it, growing whatever crop you want.

A legal hack is simply a Pokemon that you can theoretically find or breed that way naturally and is indistinguishable from the real thing, as opposed to an illegal hack which is a Pokemon with some combination of attributes that's impossible to find.

It's a marketing scare, sort of like the claims that organic food is healthier or pesticide-free. (It's not. It's just more expensive.)

I find it hilarious how people can say butbutbutbut they haven't found anything harmful about it when society in general is the most halfassed and lazy as fuck when it comes to testing things. They built your house out of literal poison. Your food is literally poisoned. Your water table is literally poisoned. They sell poison at the store in a bottle or in a stick and you consume it in the name of convenience. Get a clue.

In online arguments/debates, the first person to spit out insults without actual argument substance is the loser, whether they like it or not.

If person A makes a legitimate point, and person B says "no you're wrong and you're ignorant" without providing a counterpoint, then person A is still ahead because A's point has not been refuted.

Everyone can insult, but not everyone can effectively argue. Those who resort to insults need to take the L and move on.
