RE: Can we have a GMO discussion?

GMO is a funny subject, which generally elicits NO laughter.

Does ANYBODY know where Corn came from? Didn't think so. Man has been modifying that plant for so long, nobody knows what the original plant was.

But the REAL problem is something called 'monoculture' where a SINGLE cultivar is what is grown. Right now, in Mexico, I've seen 10 or more DIFFERENT kinds of corn. White? Yellow? BLACK? Multi-colored? (Indian corn). All are a little different and few are susceptible to the bugs which attack another type of corn.

The problem is when you grow ALL or MOSTLY one kind of plant. A single bug can go thru the ENTIRE population and wipe you out.

I like having variety. All the different corns I've tried are all a little different. I LIKE that.
Too much is never enough
