Brave new world of genetic editing for reptiles-

[MarkL1561]

I posted it as it's newsworthy, but I'm with you, honestly. Getting further & further from natural selection makes me uncomfortable.

There's so many GMO foods now, more than most of us realize...but the issues have been swept under the rug rather than openly addressed, & where profits are
involved, we know who's interest "matters" don't we?

Humanity would be dead if it wasn’t for GMO’s. That term has unfortunately become primarily a marketing term. In reality almost all of our food has been genetically modified to resist disease/pest and/or have higher yield. For example strawberries are gmo as they exhibit extreme polyploidy to produce larger fruit. Seedless watermelons are produced by instigating aneuploidy. Many grains are altered to produce more and be resistant to pest and environmental changes. There’re a ton of examples, way too many to list. The people that claim not to eat any gmo’s are completely ignorant as that’s not even possible in this day and age. Even commonly eaten vegetables are “man made” through selective breeding and genetic alteration. This means that even organic vegetables are still technically genetically modified.
