Actually, most everything we’ve been eating for the last 100+ years has been “GM” — look at triticale, the cross between wheat and rye. Sure, it pre-dates recombinant DNA techniques, but it wasn’t natural - it took Norman Borlaug to cross them.
Look at all the wheat/corn/etc breeding that has been happening for over 100 years. All of that is truly GM - just done the “old fashioned way.”
didn’t triticale kill the tribbles?
