Examples of GMO field crops include Bt-potatoes, Bt-corn, Bt-sweet corn, Roundup Ready soybeans, Roundup Ready Corn, and Liberty Link corn. 
Genetically modified foods are foods derived from GMO crops. For example, corn produced through biotechnology is being used in many familiar foods, including corn meal and tortilla chips. In addition, corn is used to make high fructose corn syrup, which is used as a sweetener in many foods such as soft drinks and baked goods. While the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) regulates genetically modified foods, it considers Bt-corn to be nutritionally equivalent to traditional corn. 
To transform a plant into a GMO plant, the gene that produces a genetic trait of interest is identified and separated from the rest of the genetic material from a donor organism. Most organisms have thousands of genes, a single gene represents only a tiny fraction of the total genetic makeup of an organism. 
A donor organism may be a bacterium, fungus or even another plant. In the case of Bt corn, the donor organism is a naturally occurring soil bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis, and the gene of interest produces a protein that kills Lepidoptera larvae, in particular, European corn borer. This protein is called the Bt delta endotoxin. Growers use Bt corn as an alternative to spraying insecticides for control of European and southwestern corn borer.

Yeah so what's wrong with it?

they are introducing a new 'bio-chemical ' into your diet. The effect might not be apparent for decades.

Don't worry. They'll develop a medication to counteract the substances they've developed that are slowly poisoning you and sell that to you too. That's progress, I'm told.

Right we are doomed with our poisonous food. That's why people live longer than ever before despite the fact that so many don't exercise or eat properly and are over weight.

Cleaner air and water, plus antibiotics have more to do with that.

 Except the air was cleaner 100 years ago. People had wells like I do right now with clean water.

Antibiotics? sure not to mention all the drugs we have today that save countless lives all the while the hippies bitch about big Pharma and modern medicine. Razz

Yep, magic through medicines.

Well, I'm sure we are dealing with a lot of unpure foods and tinkered with foods, but the above ^ remark is pure speculation.

Quote:America’s agricultural landscape is now 48 times more toxic to honeybees, and likely other insects, than it was 25 years ago, almost entirely due to widespread use of so-called neonicotinoid pesticides

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/envir...riculture/


Quote:A growing body of science implicates pesticides called neonicotinoids and glyphosate — made by giant chemical companies Bayer, Syngenta and Monsanto — as key factors in their decline.
Neonicotinoids (aka neonics) are one of the most common pesticides used in agriculture and are also used extensively by home and garden centers. Unbeknownst to consumers, many “bee-friendly” garden plants have been pre-treated with these bee-killing pesticides. Exposure to neonics can kill bees directly and also makes them more susceptible to other impacts like pests, diseases, loss of habitat and a changing climate.
Glyphosate (a.k.a. Monsanto’s Roundup) is the most widely used herbicide in the world. In the United States, glyphosate is wiping out milkweed, which monarch butterflies rely on as the only food for their young. Use of glyphosate has increased dramatically in the past two decades since Monsanto launched its genetically engineered Roundup-Ready corn, soy, canola and cotton.

Quote:Wal-Mart Moves to Patent Autonomous Robotic Bees for Crop Pollination
Seeking to compete with Amazon and other major retailers in the world of food production, Wal-Mart has been moving to strengthen their supply chain.
The company, worth $220 billion as of 2017, has plenty of expendable income to do just that, and has reportedly invested in patents on a surprising new technology: robotic, autonomous bees designed to pollinate crops,
