reports of corn growing in tree from gmo crows

Though I'm more interesting in heriloom produce. But that is almost always organic.

yes that the shit you want to eat

wut

BT delta endotoxin is a protein used by organic farmers for years.

It is selectively toxic to a select group of insects only in a certain stage of their life cycle.

Because modern produce has been created via various methods to increase crop yield and disease resistance. With flavor a distance third.

You could eat grams of the purified protein and nothing would happen.

true they do taste different

Don't get me started on tomatoes. Getting those to market is an interesting and involved process. Which is why store tomatoes taste much worse than garden ones.

Which is why organic farmers used BT.

i dont think they give the same nutrition as well

Organic farmers use the same process on their tomatoes actually. It's an "organic" process.

but the testing would be costly to prove it

Nutrition is fine, it is the taste I am sad about.

Tomatoes are berries, and designed to ripen and split open dropping seeds on the ground.

This means they have a shelf life of basically nothing.

i doubt organic farms use said protein i fallow alot in agi and ive never seen it used

@REEDSEEJBAMBAM They use the bacterium it is from.

So yes, they use the protein.

i'm not sure its a comman pratice

Probably because it's not very toxic.

Not as nasty as the metal based pesticides and nasty pyrethroids.

So they are picked green and transported closer to point of sale. At this point they are put in a room flooded with ethaline (i think) gas. This is a naturally produced gas that all fruits make. Which encourages the ripening process. Except this is exponentially more.

yeap

green house tomatoes or preserved is the way to go

Organic farmers can use metal based pesticides and nasty pyrethroids to their heart's content.

most don't

The ones I know all do.

You can replicate the process at home with a paper bag, a banana, and another fruit.

then there shitty at what they do or selling a lie for extra dallors

"Organic" pesticides are no less toxic than the ones farmers who aren't selling to yuppies and conspiracy theorists use.

But it flash ripens the fruit. Which doesn't chemically alter the fruit, but does make it taste nowhere near as good.

true

its does not taste like a fresh one

They are usually more toxic.

When they changed the eggs at costco to "cage free" and jacked up the price. I said "I'll beat up the chickens myself if it saves me ten cents a dozen!"

I will rolling pin the eggs right out of those chickens!

lol grumpbee da chicken choker
