(46,179 posts)that he addressed those nuances at this point. Those WERE the basis of my objections.
I still really don't want GMO-laboratory food supplies. The potential for misuse and abuse is too great for me.
To be honest, though, I would prefer less GMO-Agriculture as well. Patented seeds, hybrid seeds...I don't like our food supply depending on them for a variety of reasons.
In this, I disagree with deGrassi Tyson: I don't think that we have all "bought into" our capitalistic society; we were born into it, whether we support it or not.
There are some things I don't think should be owned. Much of what capitalist societies see as "property" with "market value" are not things that were "invented." I don't think air or water, for example, should be owned. Neither do I think that the seeds produced by my plants should be "owned" by someone else.
