RE: How some fruits and vegetables looked like before we changed them
When things change, it's neither necessarily good, nor necessarily bad. All of those plants in my post changed because of humans for the better, not for the worse. That's why it was not unfortunate that they changed with time because of us.
The idea that everything GMO is bad is unsubstantiated. Doesn't using a computer go against nature, too? Maybe the fact that we are using them is unfortunate too?
Computer is not made by nature and I don't eat it ;)
Of course we all have different opinions about it that is great. I would prefer to eat less of modified food, but it is kind of impossible.
Yep, we can disagree, of course :)
It is absolutely impossible to eat food that is not modified, even simple vegetables and fruits that you take for granted and as natural have been heavily modified by human selection. And we can see that many of them are healthy and actually in some cases much healthier than the originals. That's why I'm saying that change even if it's GMO might sometimes be good instead of bad.
Ok, but that controversial corn for example. It is all different and changed. And yes - it is bigger, grows better and is more efficient. But is it healthier for human than the original one?
And nothing is purely clean and organic now... so that's a shame.
Organic is a meaningless word. Technically everything is organic. The difference is mainly marketing... As everything is technically also chemicals... Like vitamins, they are chemicals.
I don't know how modern corn compares to old-timy corn, but we have the old one to compare, maybe somebody has published on the matter. Grains if not consumed in moderation could become unhealthy and corn is one of those. It is entirely possible that the old corn was not so rich in energy and nutrients and arguably a healthier thing to eat. It could also be the other way around.
Technically yes. But you know what I meant :)
I know what you mean, but I think it's ill-defined, that's why I'm pointing it out ;)
Thanks! But I will stick with my opinion :)
Sure! Thanks for sticking around too :)
