[@MoonChild-is3pl]

The Potato, dunno but I’m told it’s bad

[@mrshumancar]

@The Potato I think the problem with GMOs is mostly it reduces biodiversity in areas where they are growing these crops, because if you have a super resilient crop that beats all the other crop - than that crop will become dominant. But in nature, dominant plants will have animals and grazers that keep them in check as to promote biodiversity that benefits the ecosystem. In agriculture, you don't have that unless you're doing organic farming. So there'll be a monoculture of crops, and if more farmland is made then - more species of plants and animals will become endangered as monocultures don't promote biodiversity. Health-wise, I don't know if these crops are more nutritious or less so.

We got too take the tour at the Ben n Jerry's facility I was only 19 but I was amazed n so happy to see how well they treated their workers. For context by that point I had worked for McDonald's, Burger King, White Hen Pantry, and the water department in NH. So I was shocked at how well employees can and should be treated.
