Whats the deal with plant based company's being all "no GMO!" (hey look guys we use more water to make food!) i don't understand how that's an advertising point. Capitalism is weird.

In the US and Mexico the reason people choose non GMO is because they GMO the crops to be Round-up (Glyphosate) immune then dump extra chemicals on the crops to kill weeds instead of using other methods. Glyphosate has a lot of known really bad effects. I think they should just say that though instead of scare mongering against any sort of known GM. That said GM is rarely used for good things, 95% of GMO grops are round up ready and not good things like new species with natural higher yields or golden rice.

Some folks believe gmos are like some sort of bill gates, infect you with nanobots thing. It's not capitalism, it's just crazy.
