The Disadvantages of Genetic Vegetables

The funniest part of this video is the unrelated title, you didnt even list any disadvantages in the video.

She says if you want to avoid GMOs the worst offending foods are corn, soy and wheat. The accompanying video frame is loaf of bread, emphasizing wheat.

As of 2015 there was no GMO wheat on the market, anywhere!

I am posting this at the end of 2021 and there is now an approved variety of GMO wheat in Argentina. It has been planted, but has yet to reach harvest. Obviously that will change soon. Maybe eventually it will come to North America. So eventually she might be right.

The title of the video is "The Disadvantages of Genetic Vegetables". Picky comment - she doesn't actually mention any vegetables. There are a few GMO squash, which are technically fruits, but which might be found among vegetables. There were, when she made this video, some GMO potatoes, barely introduced at the time. Other than that, no GMO vegetables. But here's the main problem. The only disadvantage she actually mentions in the video is that these foods are bred using modern scientific methods. That's called a disadvantage. Why? Why is a laboratory a bad place to develop product improvements?

Where do we find gene free vegetables?
