🇲🇽🙅‍♀️🧬🌽 Mexico just banned genetically modified corn. Turns out the US isn't the only place with RFK Jr brain worms. GM crops reduce pesticide use, increase yields, reduce runoff, and more. This is a rejection of science and progress. mimorelia.com/noticias/mex...

Bad policies destroy nations. In 2021, Sri Lanka banned synthetic fertilizers and pesticides overnight - forcing the country into 100% organic farming. The result? Economic collapse, food shortages, and mass protests. Here’s what happened 🧵: 1/12

Europe made a colossal mistake: They banned genetically modified organisms (GMOs) while the rest of the world embraced them. Now we rely on imports, pay more for food, and miss out on sustainable agriculture. Here’s the story of Europe’s GMO debacle 🧵:

When people say to stop using pesticides, I always respond with: Which of the following are you okay with? Losing 30-40% of crops to pests? Clearing more land for farming? Children weeding manually? Higher food prices? Lower food quality? Invasive pests? Seriously, which one?

→ Too much CO₂? Nuclear power. → Too many diseases? Vaccines. → Too cold? Air conditioning. → Crop failures? Modern Ag. ↳ Our future is rooted in science and progress.

Every person who claims “modern agriculture” is evil, should be required to rely solely on what they can grow in their own garden. Most wouldn’t last a single day without visiting a supermarket stocked with affordable, safe, and abundant food.

Almost everything you eat has been modified genetically by humans.
