Title: GMO
Post by: taoalive on Sep 29, 2014
I know that it's a bit of a hot topic but does anyone else think that it is ridiculous? Nearly all of the food that we eat has been in some way genetically modified by humans in the thousands of years we have been practicing husbandry and agriculture. Why is it an issue all of a sudden?

Introducing foreign genes is dangerous. Selecting for larger fruits and using their seeds to produce large offspring is natural - it is the former that we fear could lead to future issues.

Totally agree with that ^ artificial natural selection would be much better for us
