My main issue is that this is mostly raised in relation to 'GMO' crops, which seems arbitrary. We do it by cross-breeding, sure, but we've also been doing crazy stuff like mutation breeding for decades (blast tons of seeds with radiation and chemicals and see what shakes out). That's considered 'non-GMO' by, for example, the EU. The whole thing feels like a false dichotomy.
