Hybrid Seeds Vs GMOs

In both open-pollinated and hybrid seeds,we have always been breeding crops that were genetically able to breed,like two types of stone fruit,or two varieties of squash,or two breeds of dog. But,unlike open pollinated seed selection or hybridization, GMO technology allows us to “play God” in a way that even Mother Nature hasn’t dared.

Today,with sophisticated and very expensive lab techniques (like retroviruses and gene guns),we can now manipulate and combine the DNA of species that could never ,ever breed in nature—like fish and tomatoes,Brazil nuts and soybeans,or bacteria and corn.

regardless, the farmer's crop was rejected for export sale because of the presence of GMO

Bio-engineering uses the exact same genetic engineering techniques that Mother Nature uses. As a matter of fact, every technique that scientists use in the lab today to genetically modify food came directly from nature. Viruses started placing themselves in our food long before we ever did. We learned from nature how to manipulate the genetic make up of plants.

All foods are/have been genetically modified whether its with grafting, cross-breeding, or with a gene gun. You rant about things not being "natural." This is an anti-technology belief system based on some sort of mysticism. Humans dying from disease is perfectly natural. Using advanced technology to save people from those diseases is not natural. To believe that natural is going to be better than GMO because natural is just better, and that anything not natural is bad, is the height of absurdity. Your goofy links notwithstanding.
