#1 All corn currently grown everywhere in the world is genetically modified. There is very little resemblance to the corn grown before Europeans came to the "New World".

#3 We could argue that horticulture results in genetically modified crops. All foods grown by humans have been technically GM'd by us.

Colloquially the concern with GM is the ability for crops to absorb formerly fatal doses of Glyphosate while still not killing the plant. Bugs avoid this poison, while govt pushes these poison foods into the food supply.

I am of the demographic that has zero poison resistance, I've seen the science - I am the science, and Glyphosates wreck me. Starting with blisters btwn my fingers until it spreads across my body. Body Blisters, yay, nasty stuff.

Goya imports from MX still allow me to enjoy my mexican foods.

#4 They aren’t trusting the science. They must be conspiracy theorists.
