Yeah, GMO itself doesn't concern me much. It matters how they made the GMO, and what they did to modify it. What really matters is that they're GMO to withstand pesticides that are highly dangerous and kill everything.
And a lot of people seem to get hybrids, which can be totally natural, mixed up with GMO. Of course, hybrids can be a problem as well, since they selectively breed hybrids for specific traits over the years and may ignore others that nature didn't.
Like how they're now making super plants by cross breeding their crappy seeds they've made to create shelf stable products with the much older wild versions.
I've done the home garden version of that over the years by seeking out extremely rare seeds, and then saving my seeds, without worry of cross-pollination. If I create a hybrid, it will just be one plant of many that likely will all end up different, which is the way it should be. Mono-culture is the real issue in regards to the whole hybrid shitty shelf products issue.
Plus using chemicals to shelf ripen things that were picked green. Capitalism can be so gross...
