Your statement: "A GMO (genetically modified organism) is an organism where the genetic material, aka DNA, has been changed from what occurs naturally.", though true, obscures the reality of how the term is currently used. GMO is currently used to describe transgenic organisms, those into which DNA from another species has been introduced. It is unfortunate that the term GMO has come into this common usage, as transgenic is a much more descriptive term. When I read description as yours above, I fear that the writer is trying to confuse the issue rather that add clarity.

It is ignorant to equate selective plant breeding with transgenic modification. In selective plant breeding there is a selection of parent plants that are naturally able to cross. In transgenic modification two entities are being crossed that could never cross without human intervention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046224361000529098.post-35900867638775834722014-10-07T15:06:51.965-05:002014-10-07T15:06:51.965-05:00Thanks RaeRae.

I find that the GMO debate is being waged largely by people who do not farm, don't know anything about farming, and want to sit in judgment of those who are keeping our country and the world fed. It's easy to fuss about something you don't understand with a full belly. If people really understood this issue... well, it wouldn't BE an issue.

You don't even bother mentioning that transgenic GMOs are NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE IN NATURE and can only occur through human intervention. A single celled bacteria does not just up and miraculously mate with a corn plant one day.<br /><br />Also taking a myopic view of the consumption of GMOs at the "well if you just eat one" is bogus. There is a terrible industrial mess behind GMOs. You may state you use less chemicals but that is misleading as the industry ramps up significantly on chemical use in conjunction with GMOs and the next wave of GMOs solely designed for more damaging chemicals prepares to enter the field.
