GMOs objectively can do a lot of good for the world because they can be used to cut down on pesticides. Pesticides do far more harm every year than GMOs ever have. I am all for genetically modifying farm animals as well so we don’t have to use as much antibiotics on them, or else change our farming practices towards be same. Antibiotic consumption from meat & the germs bred in heavy antibiotic use farms will be the death of us.

Those blue vanilla pudding bananas are the shit.... bananas in general are the shit. There comes a bit of a grey area where selective breeding and stock splicing doesn't register in a lot of people's minds as "genetic modification" despite the fact that - although it's far less direct than crispr-ing in a fish gene into a tomato - it's absolutely modifying the genes of plant's offspring to suit our needs.

Selective breeding makes for worse tasting produce too if varieties are selected for hardiness rather than flavor. GMO has the potential to make the best tasting fruits and vegetables, and maybe once shelf life and shipping concerns aren't so big that'll happen.

There are some really interesting lab-bred strawberries out there. Some are bred to be about the size of crab-apples, and very intensely flavoured (although they are quite sour when they're unripe - which is very good for savoury, tomato-like uses). Some are bred to be white (and they taste... vaguely melon-like), and some are bred to taste like pineapple.

I set up booths for produce trade shows a few times a year. Some of the stuff they're doing with tomatoes, peppers, and strawberries is unbelievable. The hot pepper nonsense can stop any time though - it's gotten out of hand.

Selective breeding isn't genetic modification, it deals with natural dna changes. Not that natural is innately better, but we have centuries or millennia of use and testing. GMO also refers to transgenic modification specifically, and things like crispr are called gene editing. Fun fact: with crispr and similar techniques, it will be impossible to detect and legally prove that an organism has an artificial genome, because it is so precise. GMOs use bordered dna sequences which they paste into the genome, and the border remains like a signature saying ”monsanto wuz here". Crispr just looks like a lucky mutation, and it's not feasible to ban mutations for obvious reasons. I had a class with the head of the official board of gene technology of my country and she confirmed that yes, it would be impossible to legally enforce.

That's because this one guy fucked with the ploidy to make them bigger, more shippable, and higher yield, culminating with 16-ploid strawberries in around 2007. They stopped that tho, but the reason the strawberries from local picking farms taste better is because they're lower yield, smaller varieties that don't have to be resilient for shipping purposes.

>gene modification through selective breeding is GMO technique

That is as bullshit as bullshit can be.

The germ GMO was coined very explicitly to refer to organisms that result from the use of certain modern techniques that allow us to manipulate the genome directly. Selective breeding is not GMO.

I'm strongly in favor of GMOs. However, for some reason, people who are in favor of GMOs but are so ignorant that they argue that selective breeding is somehow GMO bothers me far more than the twits who are scared of GMOs.

>definition of GMO is organism that has DNA altered or modified someway through genetic engineering
>selective breeding is the earliest form of genetic engineering
every single animal and plant you buy is the outcome of GMO's. the only way you get non gmo food is if you hunt or manage to find some rare heirloom plant that was never messed with

I think people who fear chemicals or can't understand the concept of gene splicing to make crop more resistant to disease or pests are fools being manipulated emotionally by counter culture demagogues.

>they were trying to make tomatoes frost resistant.
No, they were trying to see if you could cross animal and plant genes and have those genes express something. They just happened to pick a pair that could have been marketable if it worked.
We are still a ways off from getting animals and plants to cross genes.

Same with aspartame. IIRC its literally the most researched food additive in existence, and no harmful effects have ever been found.

More bullshit. There are some GMO foods, but not all.

For example, unless they have just started doing it, you cannot buy GMO wheat. There is research on it, but it has yet to be commercialized.

To be honest, thinking that adding a gene will make a fucked up fish tomato mutant is pretty retarded if you take it seriously. I dont know shit about genetics and I even know its retarded.

Humans and chimpanzees share 96% of the same dna. Only 4% is different if you cant do math. 4 fucking percent change is all it took to go from swinging in trees to flying in space. The fact you dismiss the possibility of a fish whos meat is similar in composition to that of a tomato is retarded. I bet youve never eaten a cotton candy flavored grape or seen mice grow human ears on their backs either

[Anonymous No.12914765]

I assume that the 4% that makes all the difference is a shit ton of genes, in comparison to the singular fish gene.
Please dont make false comparisons.

>The fact you dismiss the possibility of a fish whos meat is similar in composition to that of a tomato is retarded
I am dismissing the possibility of a tomato drastically changing into a mutant fish by adding one gene.
>I bet youve never eaten a cotton candy flavored grape or seen mice grow human ears on their backs either
I havent but I assume the cotton candy grape has more than one fucking gene, and that the ear was attached to the mice, if not then I assume more than one fucking gene.

>implying anyone but freaks of nature can go to space
I hate this idea that we’re an intelligent species, we’re not, occasionally an intelligent person is born that’s it. Like 1/2000 people are actually intelligent, and only 1/500 are actually capable of understanding what the intelligent ones figure out, and as we skew the population with more niggers we’re making these smart ones rarer and more stressed.
