GMO will feed the world if we stop being Luddites .
Did you know that the tomato is a close relative to belladonna, or deadly nightshade ...one of the most toxic plants for humans ? But today the tomato is a staple food in many kitchens around the world . How did that happen ? Because tomatoes the tomatoes that we consume have been modified to be different from their precursors. This is the same for most foods humans consume . Corn was once a grass with small seed . In fact ,unless you are consuming fish ,wild berries ,and mushrooms you are eating food that has been genetically modified .
The only difference between GMO today and Gregor Mendel's hybrid experiments is that today recombinant DNA technology and the new gene-editing techniques–are far more precise and predictable than their predecessors.
Keep that in mind when chowing down on your pasta in tomato sauce ,you are eating food, like wheat ,that has gone through genetic modifications dating back to 9000 BC .
