[QUOTE="Ayasano, post: 93276, member: 4804"] Well, I think part of the problem is that people assume all GMO = bad, which just isn't true, just as natural does not necessarily equal healthy. Farmers have been growing GMO crops for thousands of years via hybridization and artificial selection, that's how we got bananas that are yellow and curvy, not green and fat and basically inedible. Doing it in a lab is just more accurate, and thus less prone to ending up with a strain that all dies to a single disease outbreak, or something. Sure, lab-based GMO opens the door to more nefarious modifications, but so does hybridization/artificial selection, just on a longer time scale.
