I don't know about you but I don't trust the origin of such transformations of our food. God knows what else selective breeding can achieve. They could make Frankenfood and poison us with their wacky notions. This stuff needs information on it so we can feel safe and secure in our food .

That's evolution, not genetically modified.

No.  Its intentional genetic modification through controlled breeding.  Perhaps ironically, its more "intelligent design" than evolution.

I think GM is supposed to mean gene splicing, not evolution with human input. Or are we going to say that dogs are genetically modified too?

But that isn't what is meant by its folk usage.

Someone with more experience in plant biology than I have should explain the difference between artificial selection and genetic engineering.

Oh I understand the difference. But why I would want minor details to get in the way of a trolling exercise?
