A guy pulled into my drive through and when he got to the window asked why the soup was $18. I explained to him that we make sure our food is non-GMO and he said "that's a load of bullshit! Tell your boss you guys just lost a customer!" And he sped away.
Why do we still try to pander to weirdos who are afraid of scientific facts?

I bet that most people only care about GMOs because when they buy their groceries they see things advertised as GMO free and think, maybe subconsciously, that GMOs must be bad if this tin of beans is saying they don't have any.Rojava Free State wrote:

There's no good reason to be anti-GMO from a scientific perspective.

These are my thoughts exactly. Honestly, I think the "organic" label is my biggest pet peeve - it's the exact same thing as trying to make people afraid of "cHeMiCaLs" but in the opposite direction. GMO or not, it's still gonna fucking be organic.
I wonder if people who place importance on that term realize that water is not organic...

How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

Famine is never desirable, even if it might potentially destabilize an oppressive regime.
