This is a different type of blog/article. My news stems mostly from X. I grew weary from censorship and factchecking and thought X might be the safe news haven. For the most part, I believe that to be true, unless I am criticizing Dr. Makary and the FDA position on Covid vaccines or the missing link, GMOs, from the MAHA Commission Report recently released.
But a recent post graced my feed and I thought I must share an anonymous tweet in response to someone stating that “…Developing GMO food has nothing to do with eugenics.” I’ve been at this for over two decades, yet I was blown away by an incognito response. Someone under the handle @bruce_kris56597 had this to say regarding GMOs and eugenics:
“You’re stuck on the dictionary. The biotech industry isn’t going to label what it’s doing eugenics. It doesn’t need to.
Eugenics isn’t a manifesto anymore. It’s a business model.
When genetically modified food systems are controlled by vertically integrated megacorps, optimized for traits like shelf-life, docility, and patentability,
distributed into populations under economic coercion (subsidy, scarcity, consolidation)…you’re no longer in a discussion about agriculture. You’re in population engineering by metabolic leash.
Trait selection + ownership = applied eugenics.
Whether the gene edited is in a cornfield or a chromosome is a detail.
The modern version doesn’t need a brownshirt.
It has IP law, synthetic biology, and behavioral economics.
So if you’re wondering what GMO has to do with eugenics, ask yourself
Who controls the traits?
Who gets to eat?
And who gets replaced?
Now let’s talk about the part you can’t gene-edit away, the fact that these GMO crops are nutritionally bankrupt.
They’re engineered for, yield, transport durability, shelf stability, patentable uniformity.
They lack micronutrient density. They are less gut bioavailable. They are an anathema to human health.
They strip the soil with monoculture and chemical dependency, then load the food with glyphosate residues, seed oils, and engineered starch profiles that hyperstimulate the insulin-glucose axis and destroy metabolic regulation over time.
We’re not obese and inflamed in the West because we’re just lazy.
We’re obese because we’re eating food that was designed to sell, not to sustain.
You’re seeing record levels of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in children.
Leptin resistance is now common.
Micronutrient malabsorption is a thing now. This is leading to collapsing fertility in the West. New gut-brain axis disorders that didn’t exist three generations ago and it all traces back to an agricultural system that was engineered for corporate efficiency, not biological integrity.
The side benefit has been profiting off of the chronically ill forced to eat it. It’s not like everyone can afford Whole Paycheck Foods style organic vegetables and meats (not that that is guaranteed anymore anyhow).
This isn’t a diet. It’s slow-motion biowarfare wrapped in barcodes.
So when people call it food-based eugenics, they’re not being metaphorical.
They’re just watching what happens when you feed a population plastic calories with no exit.”
I reached out to this insightful and analytic writer hoping we can collaborate in the future. For now, AMEN, Kristina Bruce. I couldn’t say it any better.
