ewkaw, I think you are mistaking selective breeding with GMO's...there is a huge difference and they are nothing alike. Selective breeding is taking the seeds from a plant that has qualities you are looking for and only replanting those, then from those plants, only taking the seeds from the plants that again had the qualities you are looking for, and it keeps going until you get the desired effect. The plants already had the genetic information and the qualities simply being brought forward. That is how there are so many dog breeds in the world - they were bred for specific qualities to show. The same with chicken breeds, bovine breeds, sheep breeds etc.

GMO on the other hand is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. In other words, mixing different species DNA together...bad. This can never occur in nature or through selective breeding.

You have every reason to be against GMO's, but there is nothing wrong with selective breeding.
