   They are more drought, pest, and disease resistant, mainly. I don't think they even directly cause higher yields necessarily. Just indirectly.

   Corn is a starch and not even a real natural plant anyway. It was selectively bred from a grass for thousands of years into something that simply fills our bellies. It's also not very nutritious, which is why most corn product is fortified. But yeah, I'd argue corn is one of the most tasty raw plant products available in grocery stores. I've had corn right off the plant before and it really was not much better. Compare that to fresh tomatoes vs store bought? Huge difference.
   
   If your dad grew Monsanto's roundup ready soybeans (90% of US market) then they absolutely did grow faster than organic soybeans.

   Do you think there is one single rogue drone bee that is the Jim Jones of bees and is suciding other bees by having them drink the Kool-Aide?

   It’s probably non-ionizing radiation from human technology that’s doing it

   So instead of killing them, shouldn't they all be super killer bees by now?

   Are you saying the Indigenous people of What is now America ("Native Americans") were the ones who bred selective grain type grass and eventually came up with Corn?

   It was the indigenous people of current day Mexico, but yeah, that's basically went down. Forget the name of the grass but it still exists today and looks like single stacked corn kernels

    Im talking about radio waves and shit, that’s what non-ionizing EMR is. Not the stuff that turned Bruce Banner into the hulk.
    
    Apparently the interference fucks up the bees’ internal compass or whatever

    It’s basically the same thing they did to carrots.
    
    The thing you see Bugs Bunny eating didn’t exist until the last couple thousand years. They weren’t even orange originally, they were like black or purplish
