  More than none, which is enough to disprove your claim.

    What hello Kitty was trying to say is that most people are not objecting GMO but the way it’s used under capitalism, either to sell more pesticides (e.g. glyphosate), to make farmers dependent on seeds via patents, or both. Just because there’s highly idealistic research doesn’t mean it’s compatible with our current system.

      Then why not say that rather than the patently false claim that it’s only for pesticides? You also express some more misconceptions: seeds, regardless of how they are made are patented, are rarely reused farmers pretty much always buy new seeds. This is not an issue limited to gmos. Parents are not just for GMO plants. Again, a separate issue.

      You’re issue seems to be with capitalism, not GMO a tool used by capitalists to make more money.
