29. "There is a clear and distinct difference here,"
In response to In response to 26


  

          

in what you are talking about and GM foods.

I'm aware that man has altered some plant species to create new plant foods. Carrots and bananas are the main two staple foods that I can think of that are supposed to be food hybrids.

The difference between previous food hybrids and GM foods is that previously plants were crossed with other plants to produce a new plant. GMO's (I shouldn't call the products of GMs', "foods") are plants that have been cross-bred with entirely different species. Two different plants can natuarally cross pollenate and create a new plant type. But flies and fish can not naturally produce anything with a tomato or any other vegetation. The only way that this is possible is by practicing biotechnology (i.e., Frankenstein science).

Previously man had not developed this type of technology. I don't believe that it was necesarily because human intelligence of the past was not as advanced as it is today. I believe that they were more in tune with what is natural and unnatural and acted accordingly in such matters.

GM is a different kind of monster, one that we have not seen before.

>human selection of certain traits? are these agricultural
>methods not unnatural as well?
>
>people have been altering the genetic traits of the food
>they eat since civilization existed, far before anyone even
>knew what DNA was. unless you go out to forage everyday
>NOTHING you eat is completely "natural"
