I agree with you. People can walk and chew bubblegum if ya get me.
It sends a message - this is a warning shot. If things don’t change, another extended boycott can be organised. These people think quarterly, 7 days isn’t insignificant on that time horizon.
What are you doing?
GMOs are the solution to many of our current problems, ie drought resistant crops, biofortification of nutrients, pest control. Most GMO laws are extremely outdated and do not consider current technologies and the fact we can safely perform on-target gene editing.
Many modern plants we eat have been exposed to mutagens to generate modern variants, which is a completely random process and technically has a higher chance of producing dangerous outcomes when compared to targeted GM, yet that’s been perfectly legal for decades.
Time to update. Good job NZ
