So I don't understand.. is cotton seed naturally edible, just needs processing? Lots of things need processing but we don't call them inedible. Some edible mushrooms have to be boiled to cook out a toxin. Fish needs to be deboned, some fish can kill you if not prepared properly...

The seeds contain oil, protein, and a poison. Before the genetic modification, you took the oil, and threw away the valuable protein together with the poison. (Or gave them to cows.) After the modification, you just eat the whole seed.
