Well, the green revolution of the 60’s and 70’s was in a sense GMO foods. They crossed varieties of grains and others that never, ever would have crossed in the wild..

But it is very, very different from using a Luther Burbank type approach versus taking a gene that doesn’t exist in any variety (like the BT, Bacillus thuringiensis gene) into crops that are eventually absorbed by human digestion.

IIRC, it has been proved that this can have some real bad effects on animals that eat these foods, because the BT toxins kill off the natural intestinal flora.
