I am not worried about genetically modified when it's on the way in because it will certainly be genetically modified when it's on it's way out.

Sorry, I have other thing to think about.

For about 20 years I financed farmers and ranchers in Montana. I witnessed the production changes that occurred during those times. Things like drought resistant grains, yield increases on dry land grain production and calf weights.

I have also seen an increase in some people’s inability to eat these grains. I have a DIL who gets very sick from gluten here, but can eat wheat bread in other countries that grow heritage varieties of wheat.


I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew - Unknown

I have no problem eating the former, I’ll take some steps to avoid the latter.

Not really much difference. Farmers are tweaking the genome but only with different tools.
