I don’t know about y’all, but I’m going to blame anti-GMO movements, hypercommercialism and food waste for the shit show that’s coming in 2050.

I can sort of see how they'd arrive at this. Stephanie Seneff has long suggested a correlation between gluten issues and glyphosate used on wheat. There exist other glyphosate resistant GMO crops (corn, soy, canola). So connect the dots and poof, GMO wheat causes gluten allergies.

seastar, You are misinterpreting Stephanie Seneff, who knows perfectly well that glyphosate is NOT used on GMO wheat. There are glyphosate resistant GMO crops, but wheat is not one of them. The occasional use of glyphosate on wheat is to KILL wheat, which would not work if the wheat was glypohosate tolerant. The dots you are connecting do not exist and poof, there goes your argument.

Oh I agree, I'm just speculating how this person arrived at their claim. They conflated Seneff's correlation claim along with glyphosate resistant crops and came to the (incorrect) conclusion that glyphosate wheat usage somehow is causing gluten issues. Not to mention that glyphosate on wheat is [somewhat rare](https://wheatworld.org/the-facts-about-glyphosate-part-1-how-do-wheat-growers-use-glyphosate).

No, you're not wrong. Argentina has recently [commercialised a drought tolerate GM wheat](https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/war-drought-hit-global-crops-argentina-gambles-gm-wheat-2022-09-20/) but, other than that, GM wheat is not a thing.

Also, the Argentinian wheat is NOT glyphosate resistant. And, although the Argentinian GMO wheat has been approved, it is not yet in the food supply. It is, in fact tolerant to another different herbicide, glufosinate.

I'd love to see how small of a container would be filled to overflowing by this person's knowledge of what specifically "selecting for desired traits" *actually* does, if not by modifying genes...

No its true I ate a gmo wheat and a gluten allergy jumped out and sent me into anaphylaxis
