What definition are you using? Every single thing you eat is already genetically modified. Where shall we draw the line?
I have many concerns about our abilities to genetically modify crops and the inadvertent results of changing them, we've been doing genetic modifications for thousands of years. But my concerns lay more with pest resistence, removing original crops from gene pool availability, monogenetic crops, etc. |
If a farmer has a particularly good looking crop and he then uses the seeds of that crop, nobody would define that as "genetically modified". All species evolve over the years. Nobody would call these species "genetically modified". When Monsanto alters DNA in a laboratory, that would be "genetically modified".
There was nothing confusing about the law. I don't know why you're trying to confuse people. People know what "genetically modified" means, notwithstanding your disingenuous attempt to confuse people and tell them that all food is genetically modified. Monsanto should hire you as a propagandist.
