Once again I'm baffeled by people like him beeing able to raise an intelligent and feeling animal, kill it and devour its cadaver (and beeing proud of it, lol).

Like, just eat the crops directly instead of passing it through an animal and loose like >80% of harvested callories)

He's right on the GMO thing, tho. There are crops that have been specifically modified to increase their resistance to glyphosate.

I know how intellegent animals are. I have to interact with them daily.

And yes I know I am right about glyphosate, Monsanto (now bayer) used to sue farmers for recovering seeds from soy because it infringed on their patents. Also do the same things with cotton. Farmers used to feed the sheep the left overs untill the GMO product started to kill the sheep...

Is that what he was trying to say? I couldn't find a way to read that so it made sense.

Yeah, because I already knew what he was talking about. Your interaction reminded me a bit of this xkcd:

Strangely I only know what a quartz lattice looks like. No idea what olivine is off the top of my head.

Is GMO resistance to pesticides instead of resistance to pests the low effort hack it sounds like to a non-ag major?
