      Whatever those black patches are, I’ll just assume that they’re delicious and moist.

            They are very hard, so they’re not very good to eat. They are moist.

    “I don’t eat anything that’s been genetically modified!”

    So you don’t eat very many fruits or vegetables? Crossbreeding and hybridization are, like, the oldest forms of genetic modification.

      I mean, this is kind of disingenuous. Saying you don’t want to consume GM crops is a specific thing that doesn’t just mean you don’t want to consume anything that is the result of directed agriculture.

      Sure, most people are stupid and/or don’t care to understand the difference. But traditional breeding and GM are distinctly different processes and not really interchangeable on a practical level.

      To be clear, this doesnt make GM hesitancy any less silly in the face of all the evidence for their safety. But I’m a pedant and I think its important to be specific.
