It would involve land acquisition where 1940s housing was destroyed. If have to check further into that.
Edit: on second thought no. The people around here use the earth as their garbage can. There is no way they would show any respect for a community garden.

Community gardening was a thing in the hippie era (1970s). But Repubs disdained and discredited it, fearing impact on the rising agribusiness. The 1980s saw a brief push for the concept of garden lawns. Meaning, instead of growing grass, grow vegetables and to a lesser degree, fruits. Repubs disliked this, citing it smacked of militant environmentalism. Came up with various pseudo-science to oppose it, like they would attract non-native invasive pests etc. Each attempt by the people to be self-sufficient, break the stranglehold and control on our food supply, got stifled. Long live capitalism!!!

Republicans are contradictory.
Naw!! They're politicians. And as we know, politicians speak out of both sides of their mouths and their rectums too.

LOL I guess we need to start at the basics. What is the definition of genetically modified?

Post 101. I'm sure there's a much more technical definition or three out there, but we're not talking about Mendel's pea plants.

You need to revert to being a hunter gatherer and stay out of the grocery stores if you want non GMO food. Since the advent of agriculture humans have been genetically modifying plants and animals.

That's not what GMO's meant for the last so many years. Have you heard about the new horseless carriages?

When even China won't accept our poisonous beef... I swear it is like the people running this country want to kill us.

So what do these other 160 countries know that we don't?

China Halts Beef Shipments From JBS Plant In Colorado Over Feed Additive Drug Banned In 160 Countries

In recent months, major food safety, environmental, and animal rights groups, including the Center for Food Safety, the Center for Biological Diversity, the Animal Legal Defense Fund, and others, have filed a lawsuit in federal court. They claim that the Food & Drug Administration has been turning a blind eye to requests for a review for ractopamine. This controversial drug has been banned not only in the European Union, Russia, and China but also in over 160 countries worldwide.

There's a large number of things banned in most countries that the US allows in their foods. Good thing our medical system isn't for profit or I might smell a conspiracy
