Whether they are significant or not remains to be seen.

And it's not organic safety which is my main concern about GMOs. It's economic, ecologic, and environmental. Bees, butterflies, algal blooms, pesticide proliferation, monoculturalism, lack of biodiversity are also problems.

Enjoy your lunch.

Those concerns can be applied to non-gmo crops as well. progressoid Sep 2015 #44

Yep. But latching on to GMOs and their pesticides exacerbates some of that. immoderate Sep 2015 #46
