What are GMOs? These are GMOs! Alfalfa Apples (only @ArcticApples) Canola Corn (mostly field, a little sweet) Cotton Eggplant (but only in Bangledesh) Papayas (Hawaiian rainbow) Potatoes (only @whiterusset) Soybeans Squash Sugar beets ...and that’s it!
It takes millions of dollars to do the tests and risk assessments that @EPA relies on to make their decisions. It costs less than a cent to make up some wild-ass unsubstantiated claim about how dangerous a pesticide is on social media: desmoinesregister.com/story/… – at Chesterfield, MO
