    Why wouldn’t it be? A lot of under-informed liberals automatically hate them, and their potential for owner donor profits when under-regulated is enormous.

    Things like the fact that, if used right, they’re the best weapon we have against the coming climate change caused starvation doesn’t factor into GOP calculations. Because they don’t plan to even TRY feeding anyone not paying them a premium for it.

      People that hate GMO usually don’t get to explain why, or don’t understand why liberals might be against them. But the truth is that people that know don’t hate the genetic altering parts so much as why those parts are altered.

      It’s the pesticide.

      That’s almost always why there’s a GMO.

      GMOs suck when farmers get sued by big corporations, because they were sowing seeds that grew on their plot. All because corporations can patent DNA sequences.

        Yeah, that’s a good example of the under-regulation I was referring to. It’s patently insane that they’re allowed to do that, pun not intended but welcomed.
