In my opinion, the problem with GMOs is not that they're modified. It's that, what are they modified for? And the vast, vast majority of cases, GMO crops are modified to be more resistant to pesticides.
And that's pretty much it. Roundup ready. Yeah. So more resistant to pesticides means that the farmers can put more poison on it, and that means you can eat more poison and the crop doesn't die.

So it's not like if someone were to GMO something and make it more nutrient-dense, I'd say maybe, but also food, when properly grown, is as nutrient-dense as it needs to be. It's already there for us. Nature put it there. Right. You don't need to make it better. We're not going to put more vitamin A in beef liver, right? Right, right. There's enough...

there's enough where it is yeah so i think that's the main issue with gmos um and corn is an especially nasty crop like parts of the midwest are just like the groundwater is literally polluted with atrazine and like glyphosate is everywhere yeah it's like it's not just the food it's also the like corn farmers have a lot uh get cancer at higher rates than you know other professions it's like absolutely devastating and i think um

It's either only 1% or 7% of corn in America is not GMO. And among non-GMO corn, a lot of it's still not organic. And so I think for us, organic corn is like the absolute bare minimum standard. Over the next two, three years, I was mentioning this before, I want all our corn to be regenerative organic, which is possible.

Dropping yeah, I mean across the board and availability increasing because I think the main thing yeah I mean it's it's kind of supply and demand at this point right like we're really tapped.

I think we made We can make I don't know a hundred thousand ish approximate bags a month And you know we can get a little bit more out of that with our manual methods however The real issue is that we like why are we not on shelf at some big grocery stores? I don't have enough product, but there Right. Right.

Um, so I think that's the, the real thing is like the more availability is like the laws of supply and demand just kick in. As of right now, it's like, oh, why is it, uh, you know, why is it, why is this flavor out of stock or whatever? It's like, I can barely keep up. I think so. Today's Friday.
