The Non-GMO Project is a lie. The whole anti-GMO movement is a luddite scheme co-opted as a marketing ploy for the so-called "natural" foods industry.

I'm curious to see if I get more pushback on this from the more liberal Mastodon community than I do from the more conservative birdsite.

But then maybe people here are just plain smarter & better informed.

@pzmyers personally I seek out GMO-labeled products because my assumption is that they are making more efficient use of land and resources, with a more robust crop yield and less water and pesticide use.

@fluffy @pzmyers Right? People scream about roundup but you actually have to use a lot less pesticides with modern ones than you would with older kinds.

@Laurelai @pzmyers Yeah. I'm not a fan of Roundup but that's not even for the same part of things, it's an herbicide for getting rid of weeds and such. Reducing pesticide use is a big deal!
