So we also have a ton of variance in our plant breeding stocks added by “mutational breeding” in the 20th century, where we blasted plants with chemicals and radiation to generate new versions of existing genes, then bred these back into the “natural” (atually, artificially selected) plant varieties we have. And since…

“Dont add non plant traits to my plants”

1. Your idea of “natural” is arbitrary.

Scientists are not doing this with scisors and a microscope. They are doing this with the help of bacteria. Nature does allow this, it is nature doing this but under controlled circumstances. Much like husbandry that everyone argues is natural. Once again, the article says it well: to those who best understand this…

Believe me, I definitely know that it was an opinion. The problem is, opinions can be wrong. Especially when there are facts that disprove an opinion. Opinions have controlled this topic while the science gets pushed around and watered down by opinions.

Genes jump species, including from non-plants to plants, quite often on their own. Odds are, every plant you eat has non-plant traits (whatever that even means).
