Norman Borlaug developed wheat that can be grown in all kinds of climates temperatures and environments on Earth. It is by definition a genetically modified organism that helped alleviate starvation for billions of people since its creation.

Many people say that the most important person in human history is Jesus Christ, but I believe it is Norman Borlaug.

You can still have ultra processed organic foods

Processed food was designed to make profit.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's to make calories easier to get.

Grains, pulses, meat, and some fruits and veggies need to cooked, i.e. processed, to make them safe or easier to eat.

"Processing" is as minimal as sprouting beans. Removing bran. Cutting into small tiny bits. Warming or heating. Pounded or smashed.

Not all "processed food" is ultra-processed diabetes - inducing poison. A baked potato is a processed food. A steak is a processed food.

This is a matter of semantics, linguistics, and basic communication. When someone says processed food, what do they actually mean by that? Do they mean a baked potato, or do they mean a twinkie?

Language and communication don't work on technicalities. If someone says they would like a bowl of fruit, you can't serve them some tomatoes and say well you have to enjoy this! Tomatoes are technically a fruit! Communication occurs only when people accept the intended meaning of what someone is saying rather than the literalist interpretation of it.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

Absolutely correct.

I'm 14 and this is deep bullshit. There are different levels of processed food. Nobody is against cooking your food. Countless studies demonstrate that the less processed your food is, the healthier it is for you.

Even home-grown fruits are not organic.

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You are even more unprocessed than unprocessed food.
