So I'm guessing you think GMO's are great. You can have my share.

You’re brain damaged. Enjoy starving to death. All food is modified. Has been for millennia.

Yeah, ancient Egypt had CRISPR and other GMO techniques. Bon Appetit.

Elaborate? Selective breeding of crops is in no way the same thing as what is done to GMO crops.

Tallest_Skil you usually seem to know what you are talking about, but in this case, and I mean this sincerely, you seem to be missing some crucial bits of information.

I suggest you watch these two videos. The 3 minute introduction:

And then part two for the real meat:

Now if you still think it's all fine and great, and selective breeding is just like synthetic gene splicing. Well..you can bring up your counter arguments and we'll see.

You also have to understand that this industry is not run by sane people, but by and large by profit seeking corporations. It is very naive to think "if they would just use it for good". No, they will almost never use if for good; they will use it for PROFIT. This is a very important difference to understand. And you of all people should know, that when there it profit to be made, then safety and truth are one of the first items that get thrown out the window. Please watch the videos.
