One example (and huge mistake) was the GM #sweetPotatoes they did to #Africa. They developed #sweetPotato that looks the same but grew in #nutrientDepleted #soil. Rather than #feedingTheWorld the likes of #Monsanto created an epidemic of #blindness – the #vitaminA was missing. #keepFoodOpenAndHonest

Thanks for sharing, and yes you are right on all points re #GMO and #seedFreedom.
The one area that you might be able to keep an eye out for are the ways #BigAg strip nutrients from foods while they look the same.
One example (and huge mistake) that comes to mind are the GM #sweetPotatos they tested on #Africa. They developed sweetPotato that looks the same but grew in #nutrientDepleted #soil. Rather than #feedingTheWorld they created an epidemic of #blindness – the #VitA was taken out.
