I like to bring this up whenever anyone argues that natural is better. There’s no such thing as a natural food anymore. We made the food we eat as edible as it is through thousands of years of selective breeding.
This is why I hate the anti-GMO argument so much. We’ve already genetically modified fucking everything.
Anti-GMO is not about genetically modified food in general, but more about opposing the pesticide-industrial complex. Monsanto and Bayer don’t make plants resistant to pests, but resistant to the pest killers they sell.
Anti-GMO, if coming from a place of reason, is a stance against pesticides in your food. One of the primary reasons to genetically modify some plant is so Roundup herbicides can be used on it.

It does not. Most fruit in western world is cherrypicked through generations to increase favourable proportions of f000d.
An unaltered banana looks much different and has less flesh, same likely goes for oranges, I think.
You can’t trust me, I don’t know shit tho. Perhaps take what I wrote and turn it upside the fuck down…
