The other day I watched a video on YouTube about GMO food crops and it put me in mind of insulin.
My wife is a type II diabetic and uses a fast acting insulin at mealtimes and a long lasting insulin at night before she goes to sleep.
I googled them each and both are produced through recombinant DNA techniques producing appropriately modified strains of E. Coli.
Frankencoli, if you will.
(Joke)
On current evidence, the worries of the anti-GMO folks seem about as evidence-based as the worries of the anti-vaxxers.
The YouTube video claimed the global population is expected to top out and stabilize at about 12 billion, but feeding a human crowd that size will absolutely require the use of GMO food organisms.
