    Most who fear genetically altered food are unaware that nearly all food has been genetically altered via artificial selection

        @DyadGame @neiltyson I agree. Selection is one thing, splicing genes from a different species (or phyllum) is something entirely different.

        @neiltyson Please do more research on what Monsanto Co has done to Indian farmers & small farms before you spread misinformation.

        @neiltyson @evanlong and our bodies evolved by the same process to eat it safely. Not necessarily so for lab-produced “selection”.

        @neiltyson Don't you see a big difference between the old methods, grafting etc vs unreproducing or pesticide-infused seeds for example?

        Thats not #GMO @neiltyson, that's conventional breeding! #GMO is 100% man-made in a lab and has only been around since the late 1970s.
