The factual one. It's fine. We've genetically engineered food for thousands of years already.
Patents and shit is a separate issue however.
Jeremiah Green
It's like any other food, just better.
Elijah Gray
By GMO OP obviously means taking genes and segments of DNA from one species and putting them into another species. What we have been doing for thousands of years is artificially breeding plants and animals for select traits we desire instead of leaving them subject to natural selection.
Parker Allen
It's still basically the same thing, changing the genetics of the plant, just in a more direct way.
Ryan Wood
Blanket statements about all GMOs being harmless or all of them being hazardous are retarded.
Corn that's been modified to be more resistant to cold with absolutely no side effects is a GMO. Corn that's been modified to produce deadly poison is also a GMO.
Jonathan Morales
They're not unhealthy. The unhealthy part is when the pesticides are shitty
Michael Sullivan
It allows much more radical changes to occur which were simply impossible to get by breeding for select traits. You can get nuch more amazing creations and also potential big fuck ups if you don't fully understand what's going on.

Yet again, out of all the candidates, Clinton's position on the issue is more scientifically grounded than any of other candidates'
say what you want but she's obviously the most Veeky Forums candidate
Henry Turner
The GMO process itself is not dangerous. For your example breeding a plant to be more cold resistant is a smart thing to do. Breeding plants to produce deadly poison is fucking retarded. This had nothing to do with the actual GMO process.
