the people on tiktok filming a blob-like strawberry and saying it’s a GMO one…fucking fake strawberry fans…they literally can grow naturally like this
it’s just the strawberries growing together. do not speak lies of these beautiful freaks ever again
every time I find a strawberry like this i’m not hating. i’m happy because there’s more strawberry to eat. unlike you
its called fasciation and it’s a mutation that happens in plants all the time! it’s perfectly natural, just a neat variation that comes from a wide array of genetic possibilities :)
Its so interesting that when people hear gmo they think its gotta look wrong but the real gmo plants are the ones that look perfect and plump everytime, that’s the kinda thing they’re selecting for
btw, selecting for traits is genetic modification. We’ve literally been doing it the entire time we’ve had agriculture. But now it has some scary name.
Good Reasons to be wary of SOME GMO plants: Allergy drift (Starlink soybeans have peanut genes and can trigger an allergic reaction in people with peanut allergies), Patent woes (We will sue any farmer whose crops have our designer genes even if they got them through wind pollination) and Unsound Field Praxis (We made this crop glyphosate resistant so we can drown the field in glyphosate because fuck the environment and fuck the workers who have to harvest this crop from farm to table)
all the photos of him are like this, I love that this guy understood he had been born with the face of a wizard or axe murderer and just leaned fully into it
