    You’re just proving my point - Monsanto isn’t the problem, nor are they GMO, they are a single company, of many, that uses GMO technology.

    The problem is capitalism, and by focusing on a tiny symptom of it and acting as if you’re saving the world, you’re not only completely missing the point, and playing right in to the hands of the capitalists who have profitable solutions to their manufactured problem to sell you, and a deep appreciation of the distraction you’re providing them, but you’re also contributing to the ignorance and fearmongering of a technology that could help solve world hunger.

    But hey, I get it, it’s so much easier to shake your fist in the air (and at anyone who doesn’t buy in to anti-science nonsense) and shout about “monsatan”, than it is to address the actual issue.

      Centralizing control over food supply in a monopolistic company that sells the seeds it a terrible idea. You don’t want to give a bunch of shareholders control over global food supply.

      The technology could improve lives. But not in the hands of Monsanto. Not even if you are buying their product. Nor if you are supporting them on lemmy out of all places.

        Show me where I even implied anything of the sort?

        At this point I’m just going to point you to my previous reply, because I can’t be bothered to repeat myself.
