Sometimes worse side effects than the thing it’s trying to cure. Sometimes used to cure something that better diet and more exercise could take care of. Made by companies more concerned with money than your health outcomes. What’s to be afraid of?
GMO
Nothing wrong with GMO itself, but every company using GMO doesn’t use it to make food higher quality or taste better. They use it to engineer pesticides into your food, increase crop yields, and patent our seeds, for, you guessed it, money! Insecticides specifically can be neurotoxic to humans. What’s to be afraid of?
Maybe you should listen to your mom instead of badmouthing her to strangers on the Internet.
I haven’t seen anything that actually links GMOs to something that is a concrete negative. There are so many claims that “artificial” and GMOs are somehow bad but yet people can’t seem to quantify why or how.
I think it is mostly just marketing fluff. What’s worse is that the so called “organic” produce is almost certainly worse for the environment. Also some of the “natural” pesticides are worse for humans if actually consumed.
Yeah I agree organic pesticides are just as dumb. Bioengineering pesticides into your food takes the cake though, you can’t even wash it off. Not all organic growers use organic pesticides. I know several organic farmers and none of them use any pesticide, they accept the lower crop yield for higher quality food.
There are other ways to grow high yield food without using pesticides if that’s your primary goal. Like indoor vertical farming in a controlled environment. Recently some growers have proven this is viable and profitable. Pesticides in any form are bad for the soil, bad for our health, and decimate the bee and bug populations, which fuck with the ecosystem. Wasting resources includes our natural resources, which are our biggest asset.

So like advice like “antidepressants are bad and it’s all in your head”? 🤔
Ha, probably not that advice.

You absolutely should be using pesticides. You are just wasting resources if you don’t. We need fresh food to be cheaper and easily accessible.
