Selective breeding does not create GMO's. It uses natures processes to isolate desired natural traits of a specific crop over multiple generations.Wtf is “big GMO”?
I don’t want to go back to chewing on teosinte, I prefer sweet corn..
Selective breeding creates “GMO’s” through trait selection instead of gene editing, which is what most of the modern cultivars are. Heavily worked lines.
So what I THINK you’re trying to say is that you think it’s weird to insert fish genes into rice and that you don’t have any problem with the general food we eat, or with selective breeding which is just slower genetic editing.
The non GMO label in America means nothing, there is no oversight. Anyone can buy the label if they have the money. Additionally, due to our food transport and sorting systems, there is a 100% chance that you are unknowingly ingesting GMO foods.
Real "GMO" has been altered on a genetic level, often including adding in genetic material from completely different organisms.
If you truly cat understand te difference then I'm very sorry for you.
