anytime I see anything about GMO, and anything about Monsanto, that doesn't explicitly mention the health impacts of glyphosate and or other chemical herb and pesticides, I die a little inside.
and yeah there's a passing mention, but it's linked directly to the GM crops, as if they're hand in hand. I dunno i've spent too long around hippies who have no idea what they're talking about.
Yeah most gmo crops in use are designed to harden the crops against pesticides so that they can use more of them without killing the crop, if you actually look into the numbers its very distressing and more people need to be talking about this.
Gmo isn't automatically bad but it's bad when its implementation is by companies looking to create monopolies and who don't care at all if it causes problems like increased chemical additions running off into water ways and cause immense ecological damage
