Preparing for what?

[Scythe13]

We've all been eating GM crops for years! GM has been a staple of our diets since the 70's (possibly 60's but I'm too lazy to check for the sake of a decade). The long term effect are as we are now.

The thing with GM being sterile is that not all GM crops are sterile. The ones sold to UK farmers are sterile, so that the big companies can keep selling the seeds to the farmers. If GM was 100% sterile, how do they make enough seeds to plant a field? They have crops that are not sterile, then they produce masses of seeds. Those seeds are steralised then sold to farmers.

The lower quality GM sold to the 'developing' countries is not sterile, but it is still higher quality than the traditional strains that were grown years ago.
