and water

Plus there’s a GM mosquito that decimates populations to the point where disease transfer is very unlikely. Guess who’s against that? Leftists

yeah we could very well see the end of malaria

that is MASSIVE

that's bigger than curing cancer

Isn't everything that we grow as food a GMO at this point?

in a sense

Whether intentionally or not?

we've been messing with plants and animals for hundreds of years

@wolfman1911 pretty much yes.

carrots are naturally white

bananas are not sweet and are full of seeds

and straight

The process isn’t dissimilar. genetic modification only speeds things up.

@Lord Zedd it’s the same with DDT. Africa can’t use ddt because some bird species in North America reacted badly to it.

imagine they could make corn and wheat with double the yields that are pest and drought resistant

^

hopefully the new mozzies will eliminate the need for DDT

and then there's all the new flavours of food we can get

did you know ruby chocolate is a thing?

Or use golden rice to supplement south East Asian diets to help prevent health problems

it's a type of chocolate that is sort of reddish and tastes sort of like berries, that's pretty awesome stuff

What’s ruby chocolate?

I want it

it's still pretty uncommon Kit Kat had a short run of ruby chocolate kit kats for a while

I quite like it

That reminds me of the people that get pissy about farmers having to buy new seeds every year. Like, no shit, otherwise the company selling the seeds goes out of business.

I liked a pic in the pictures channel

The Monsanto freak outs are ridiculous

Glyphosate doesn’t harm people

You can practically drink the crap.

Kit Kat are really good about trying new things they have sort of caramel white chocolate hybrid now which I like

and the thought of plants like Cocoa and Coffee having wider ranges of viable farmlands is a big deal

and plants like Rice and Cotton take a ton of water to produce

it's all exciting stuff

Right.

Maybe hemp clothing really is better. Lol

we could even see a sort of natural poly cotton plant 😄

and what if we could use plants to create new polymers instead of oil?

Some people are looking at algae to do that

we could very well see the perfect food too they could in theory engineer a plant that has all the recommended dietary needs
