every one. whether through actual genetic implants, or breeding. we grow not a SINGLE FOOD CROP that is as it is found in nature.

jeezus man, i never ever have said "duh" to you, but for fucks sakes man, it is spectacularly obvious that plant and animal domestication has modified their genes-- everybody and their mother knows that-- i'm not talking about getting sweeter apples or creating nectarines or pluots or breeding fatter pigs.

i'm talking about genetic engineering. that means that you insert strands of DNA into crops-- sometimes for beneficial effects sometimes for weird-ass shit.

the problem is-- it's mostly weird-ass SHIT LIKE THIS.

and it's not just hippies that give a shit about it

suicide seeds? sure:

the problem with those is that plasmids can spread to other crops and kill them too.

so, please, let's not dismiss corporate crimes with obvious arguments about food domestication-- it's not the same.

now, mind you, i'm not against genetic engineering per se-- i'm against the greedy fuckers who control the technology for pure profit regardless of consequences.

and soybeans are a shit, shit crop.
