Pretty much everything g we eat is “GMO” because that’s how agriculture works, we selectively grow the most productive plants
No.
[GMOs are organisms whose genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/glossary/genetically-modified-organisms-gmo.html#:~:text=GMOs%20are%20organisms%20(apart%20from,mating%20and%2For%20natural%20recombination.)
This is true. I should have specified that geographically GMO is a bad thing here because it's typically associated with creating hard tasteless produce that can survive long haul transportation
You mean to say it's stigmatized as a bad thing, and I'd accept that.
There's an apple called Cosmic Crisp that has to be the worst thing I've seen come from the Honeycrisp variant of apple. Genuinely just awful taste and texture, like it's got sand in it.
That being said, these are only a problem at supermarkets. Farmers markets are hard carries and don't typically have the 'grown for shelf life' produce you see at your typical Walmart.
