I don't get how so many people are having a hard time grasping this concept in here.
There's kind of a big difference between mating two things in order to get a better product, and just straight up going into the DNA of that product and altering it yourself.
Similar to having two attractive people make an attractive baby, compared to altering the baby's DNA inside the womb to have a "designer" baby.
Not that I really care, I'm not anti-GMO or anything, but they are pretty different.
mating two things is "altering the DNA by another" name, it's the same thing. The result is the same.
People argue about designer babies as an ethical quadry, not a health and saftey one so that comparison doesn't make sense.
I see what you mean, I think the problem is that the mix isn't between a grape and cotton candy.
It's two types of grapes that happen to produce a cotton candy-ish flavor when they are bred.
that mix of genes would never occur naturally in the wild, it only exists because of human intervention. Becuase of sceince and technlogoy, just becuase the technology is slightly different, the result is the same. GMO foods are no more dangerous than ANY OTHER TYPE OF FOOD BECUASE ALL FOOR HAS BEEN GENETICALLY MODIFIED.
It's a straight up HUSTLE.
