Selective breeding and GMO are different things, and will continue to be different things, until you can convince a squid to screw a cucumber. Please don't make that crap argument.
That being said, I pointedly did not say "GMO BAD". I said that the article is making a bad argument for its necessity.
- X6S1x6Okd1st 7y agoDoes this lie on the selective breeding side or the GMO side in your mind https://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/28/science/28crop.html https://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/28/science/28crop.html
- beat 7y agoIt doesn't matter, because I am not arguing against GMO.
- X6S1x6Okd1st 7y agoI'm not making a value statement. I am just wondering if you consider intentional irradiation of seeds as selective breeding, GMO or something else.
- beat 7y agoI'm rejecting the question. I consider it an irrelevant distraction to the actual point, which is that GMO has not been necessary to feed a quadrupling of the population in a century, so it won't be necessary to feed a 25% increase in another century.
