Just on the side note, what's wrong with enhancing a plant to withstand weather conditions, germs, parasites or other hazards by equipping it with natural defense systems that it will develop itself? What would you rather do - spray lethal chemicals over a field which produce run-off waste, polute the Earth, decrease the quality of the soil for future plants that will grow on it and generally de-stabilize the environment or teach the plant to defend itself from threats by giving it features which will nullify the threat without being harmful to the consumer? You're sounding a lot like those people in the 1950'ties who feared that microwaves will make their children grow additional heads due to "the terrible radiation!". Get on with the times and embrace science - it's good for you, it has been enhancing your life since the dawn of mankind.just a scam to jack up the prices of coco beans , and to try and sell you on some GMO coco beans or some other synthetic chocolate shit.
Wars have been fought over less (seriously, look up Banana Wars).WWIII fought over chocolate confirmed.
Milk chocolate will always be there, even if there's no cocoa trees. But, sadly, legit 75-95% dark chocolate is in danger, which is the only healthy one out there. Sad news.
So I watched the video... and? The only semi-disgusting part of it was the speaker attempting to give the impression that he's being sick.
That's just an example, there are better ones of foods that are processed in ways that would make ppl sick thinking about it. Sawdust is mixed in cheddar cheese, Milk helped made by processed calf stomaches, Duck feathers and human hair cooked down into amino acid's and used to make bread, some beers containing isninglass (fish bladders), Coal tar being used as food dye's for candy and soda... the list could go on and on. The point I was trying to make is Ppl making shit edible isn't different from what we already eat today, we just don't know about it.
Although the Japanese have made huge strides towards "making s*it (literally) edible", we're not yet embracing this new, fascinating technology.
Why choose when you can go the third option, beloved by many GMO developers, that genetically modifies crops to be more resilient to herbicides. That's right, the only goal/end result of the modification is to allow the farmer to use even more herbicides.What would you rather do - spray lethal chemicals over a field which produce run-off waste, polute the Earth, decrease the quality of the soil for future plants that will grow on it and generally de-stabilize the environment or teach the plant to defend itself from threats by giving it features which will nullify the threat without being harmful to the consumer?

GMO has been a disaster, it has lead to monocultrure, crop failures, 250,00 suicides in india,
at least poison on the outside can be washed off, BT corn has pesticide producing bacteria inside thats cant be washed off
most GMO is made for one reason, to sell round up ,glyphosate , they are made to be herbicide resistant to glyphosate by monsanto, which sells glyphosate and glyphosate resistant seeds ,terminator seeds that they own the patent for that will not produce seed producing crops
there are plenty of documentaries about how bad GMO is
