I agree with everything besides the statement about GMOs in clothing. The fear-mongering around GMOs is not scientifically sound, especially when GMO crops can have a lower environmental impact than organic crops and require fewer pesticides. There's an assumption that organic automatically means better, which is false.

The clothes don't fall apart fast.... (which implies that the skilled workers who made the garments produce shoddy goods) the _cut_ that's bad to begin with, causing people to buy clothes that look good on social media but aren't garments that they actually want to _WEAR_ ....so they end up in landfills when the actual quality of the stitching is great!
