Whether they’re referred to as genetically engineered seeds or genetically modified, crops produced with seeds produced with the aid of science over the past decade or two have gotten a bad press. And poor reception from those who have stood to benefit the most from the scientific advancement.
Investigations have shown that such crops have expanded by at least a third in volume, to help feed consumers at lower cost. Furthermore, they have shown the commodities to be entirely safe for consumption by humans and livestock.
Still a religious-like fervor exists against the use of such scientific progress despite the overwhelming favorable evidence. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
