I'm against GMO because of what it leads to, not necessarily fear of giant tarantulas roaming the hills (to reference a favorite movie.)

Like GMO wheat, the dwarf kind with more protein and gluten, is credited with saving many people from starvation, and okay, that is a good thing, even if it comes in a bad package.

But apparently US farmers, who are able to be as heedless of the environment as a crazed billionaire will allow, use wheat seeds that have been genetically modified to be resistant to Round Up so they can just spray the fields to eliminate weeds. And they don't care how much they spray or when, so this winds up in the breads and pasta of the nation.

And we all know what Round Up is. A defoliant during the Vietnam War: Agent Orange.
