With truth bombs like these, it's hard to tell when you're being sarcastic.
Oh, none of that is sarcastic except the last part about screaming. That's how the entire thing went. Some nut screaming about things they don't understand while mentioning truths that contradict what they are saying.
GMO is not bad in and of itself. GMO is the only way to feasibly save the Cavendish in the near future. The breeding program to naturally select for healthier varieties is still in development and the natural resistance is still weak in comparison to the fungal pathogen that is wiping it out.
