If GMOs Are So Great, Then Label Them.

118. You keep saying it tastes better, with zero proof to back that claim up.

What is your time worth to you? What do you do when you experience crop failure? You're not thinking you're immune to climate change, wherever you are, are you?

I grow my own as well. Not enough to live off of, but supplements meals nicely. I like gardening. It's relaxing. I would never go so far as to say it certainly tastes better than anything from the store. It might give me a personal sense of satisfaction, but that's it.

Here in the PacNW, we've had the mildest winter I can remember. The rule is, when the snow is gone from Mt. Si, plant your tomatoes. Problem is, there hasn't been a dusting of snow on the mountain all winter. It's still winter. It feels like May. What do we do? Plant? Are we going to then get a cold snap?

I've got stuff going in the greenhouse, but that's a hedge, not a sure thing. It could all easily die with a freak turn in the weather. The weather is already freakish.

I get more by growing my own.

I could say this about my sewing machine. Same for my Tig welder. For my table saw. Making things, including food, is immensely rewarding. Doesn't mean I can sew any better than a machine that displaced a seamster or seamstress in Bangladesh.
