You can’t really be so foolish as to believe that the Egyptians didn’t genetically modify their food stock plants can you?

That seed which sprouted after all those years obviously came from a line of plants that had been altered thousands, even tens of thousands, of times. To think you somehow have a ‘original’ wheat seed stock is to display flaming ignorance. The original seed stock probably had a ‘shelf’ life of little more than a year.

Eat what you want, in fact I encourage those who think ‘organic’ is the best food to eat lots of it. I have relatives raising same and getting wealthy from such foolishness.

I myself stay with the inorganic foods.

Selecting the best seeds to plant the next year is a long way from altering DNA to produce insecticide and make the plant resistant to Roundup.

You saw in my post the “unintended consequences” of inserting a gene to generate more Vit A. Most docs don’t recognize the symptoms of Vit A overdose.

I would really like to see, at a minimum, multi-generation studies with rodents before we introduce GMO foods on a vast scale.

Not many years ago I thought the anti-GMO crowd to be a bunch of silly luddites.

Not foolish. I say, “Err on the side of caution”.

I wish people could disagree on FR without name calling or flinging insults.

We differ. I don’t know your credentials, but I have scientific training as well. I read more medical journals than any of the physicians who treat me.
