This is one of the very few actual benefits of Brexit. GM crops are the future, perfectly safe, and are banned in the EU thanks to baseless fear mongering. Literally every crop we eat atm is “gene edited”, except done through slower methods of selective breeding. An extreme example is Brassica oleracea. We’ve cultivated them to create cauliflower, broccoli, sprouts, kale and cabbage. They’re all the same species created by artifical selection.
Can GM bring back the taste that selective breeding removed from tomatoes.
Fan Dabby Dozie … I look forward to chlorinated chicken and corn syrup in everything too then I guess
Nice.
Gene editing has potential to have great positive environmental effects. GM crops could mean less reliance on harmful pesticides and insecticides.
They should have been sold from the start if it wasn’t for idiotic people who don’t understand science
The same people who are against GM crops are also conveniently against nuclear power and high speed rail, other things that would *actually* help us become more sustainable as a society, instead of using paper straws or whatever.
I wonder if they can make them taste nice while they’re at it. Anything but the most expensive tomatoes are bland and boring because we want them all year round and cheaply. Cheap tomatoes aren’t worth eating.
Why some biohacker like Thought Emporium hasn’t stuck the genes for thc and cbd into tomatos yet is beyond me.
Can you imagine the police having to raid greenhouses and allotments for fear of people getting high off of spaghetti bolognese.

No issue with this tbh
