Technically speaking, every food we consume—NO exception—is genetically modified. All we have done is to refine the techniques, so that instead of mixing up genes in a haphazard manner without being able to predict the outcome, we can specifically target one gene and leave the rest untouched.

I think the anti-GMO movement is based in Ludditism, not in science or rational thinking.

Technically speaking you are full of crap. If there’s no difference in GMO then why do you need to push it?

Eat it if you want. Stop trying to force it into everyones good.

The anti-GMO movement is based on the fact that you cannot kill the GMO seed. It is resistant to normal herbicides. Once GMO is planted or if it spreads naturally, it will reproduce forever and Monsanto will demand a cut, whether you intentionally planted GMO grain or not.
