Imagine being picky with the labels on your food

okay so
devils advocate chloe time
while GMOs are not proven to have negative affects on your health, they have directly lead to an increase in superpests/weeds, which are nearly impossible to exterminate on a large (corporate) scale without strong toxic pest/herbicides, as the resistance to these increases
also the rise in GMO popularity fucks over small family farmers, but so does everything

That’s why they’re small families
Cause they’re not big
Fuck them
to be nerd, this is an arete
the human cost due to people blocking distribution of golden rice (rice that’s been genetically modified to have a higher level of Vitamin A) in the developing world over fears of GMOs is estimated in the approximate range of millions of lives
personally I think killing millions of people is bad, actually
I take the survival of small family businesses very highly.
Also why I believe cannabis should be legalised so small family businesses can profit.
admittedly my personal moral value of a life is probably much lower than yours
large-scale change always requires sacrifices
i’m not sure “millions of human lives” is a worthy sacrifice for “not wanting to have same chemicals in foods because chemicals”
Kosher I can understand, but like I still don’t think that’s enough of a reason for that

okay so my family sucks at being Jewish and I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure that ‘because kosher’ only applies to … Jewish people
and not to arguments over what food aid organizations should be allowed to distribute to Gentiles
like whoever would actively decide “hey, let’s not give millions of starving people these thousands of tons of perfectly good food we have and aren’t using for anything else so we dont give them GMO’s” must be unfathomably stupid
Pretty sure N.1 isn’t arguing against the distribution of GMO or encouraging others to not eat it.
They’re just stating their opinion that they don’t like them.
