Hazards are potential dangers, while risks measure how likely and severe those dangers are.

Pesticide levels are thoroughly tested to ensure safety. Limits are set based on evidence to keep our food safe. So, enjoy your meal worry-free.

Chemophobia thrives on social media, driven by fear-based narratives and misinformation.

Memes and online discussions frequently spread misconceptions about chemicals, causing widespread anxiety and distrust.

This article, which compares French and German energy policies, does a good job of articulating nuclear's benefits. Article link in reply.

Despite its efforts to use polite language in its description of Germany's policy, the article's message seems clear, i.e., that France's

Technically, every food you eat is a GMO.

Selective breeding of any organism leads to a GMO.
This includes almost all of the fruits and vegetables we eat today.

All of them were genetically modified to create what we know today.

When the USDA funds marketing by a group that in previous marketing included GMOs in a list of 'chemicals' not used in organic farming, it has ceased to be a trusted science institution. ๐Ÿ™„onlyorganic.org

In 60 years, farmers, engineers & geneticists have divided the quantity of land needed for agricultural production by 3.

Further reducing deforestation & pressure on wildlife.

But innovation is not as well accepted everywhere.

Almost everything you eat has been modified genetically by humans.

We have only recently discovered how to do this a little faster.

Through techniques like:-

โ†’ Selective plant breeding.
โ†’ Genetic engineering
โ†’ Gene editing.

Two hundred fifty million people suffer from Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD), including 40 percent of children under five in the developing world.

Every year, about half a million children become blind due to VAD, and 70% of them die within a year.

Sales of genetically modified (GM) wheat seeds have begun in Argentina.

HB4 GM wheat resists drought.

GM wheat is becoming more accepted.

Thousands of risk assessments conclude that GM crops present no greater risk than non-GM crops.

Greenpeace fights a vile war on the poor and vulnerable through environmental advocacy can harm vulnerable communities, especially in developing countries, due to its campaigns against certain industrial practices or technologies like golden rice.
