"I only eat natural food!" No you don't.
Take at look at these foods, ALL of them modified.

Iw ill try and retrieve the nameof ssaid book.
Now peanuts may not have been deliberately used inside a cultural media, but because of the absolute waste and filth of these terrible cheapskate laboratories, they end up in the media where the vaccine is cultured. (And yes, eggs are the main body of what a cultured vaccine should be exposed to, but the "should's" are very differnt from what actually happens.)
The SF Chronicle had an editor back in 1999 or 2000 who was so upset that the upper class, more educated people in the SF Bay area were not vaccinating their kids, that he assigned a crack team of reporters to visit the labs so that they could write a report and then the article could be used to demonstrate how extremely careful the process happens to be.
But instead, the reporters found the laboratories to be swimming in filth, with the various culturing media exposed to live virus material, live bacterial material and dust, dirt, germs and filth that they wrote an extremely critical article. (That article is somewhere in a box of articles inside my garage - fifty five banker boxes full of all the "dirt" I have collected on Big Pharma, Big Energy and Big Pesticide over the forty years I have examined these "institutions."
It is to the SF Chronicle's credit that the article was actually written, and if my memory serves me, it was actually a series rather than one article. One thing mentioned in the article was how the labs are always told upfront whenever any risk of being inspected by FDA or other people could occur. But of course, the actual inspectors rarely visit any labs as they are few in number!
Here is link to NYT article abt peanut inclusion in vaccine, 1964show the use of peanuts or peanut oil:

PEANUT OIL USED IN A NEW VACCINE
STACY V. JONES; Special to The New York Times SEPT. 19, 1964
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18—A pharmaceutical manufacturer has developed a vaccine that it predicts will considerably lengthen immunity from influenza and other virus infections, thereby requiring fewer “shots.”
From Our Advertisers
The key ingredient, called Adjuvant 65, which contains peanut oil, was patented this week for Merck & Co., Inc., by Dr. Allen F. Woodhour and Dr. Thomas B. Stim. They, discovered it in the company's research laboratory at West Point, Pa.
Present procedure, according to Merck, is to give annual injections of killed influenza virus, which are expected to afford protection for a year. The hope is that the new vaccine will extend the immunity to at least two years and be more effective during that period.
The current issue of the New England Journal of Medicine reports favorably on studies in which 880 persons received killed influenza virus in Adjuvant 65.
Still Under Study
The new vaccine is still under study and is not yet licensed for general use. Adjuvant slowly releases antigens, the active ingredients of vaccines, which stimulate the creation of antibodies in the human system over an extended period, Merck said.

for specific qualities since agriculture began. That's not GMO. That's just standard agricultural practice. Nature is very good at genetically modifying things, all on its own. It's called evolution. When something new and worthwhile shows up, the wise grower takes notice and plants the seeds from it, or breeds the changed critter.
Genetic modification by scientists is quite a new thing, but it's just a play on the same natural strategy.
The archetypal type of most foods no longer exists, and hasn't for a very long time. Most of those that do we wouldn't even recognize as a potential food.
I love the banana photo, as if there was only one natural variety of bananas. There are hundreds. There are also those bred to meet human needs. Those are the ones we eat, mostly. I say mostly, because people are still eating many other varieties. It all depends on where you are in the world, really.
Archae is just having a little fun, as usual, with specious arguments and the like. It's a trademark, kind of like...
a choice in what we put into our bodies - food or medicine. That you would be very happy to just have boxes of food, chosen by you, delivered to everyone - and their bank accounts debited. Same sort of thing for medicine. None of our business, just do what you say!
Doomed to always be disappointed, methinks. 
And they sometimes create something unexpected, something cool, or something dangerous.
Of course nobody knows what they're going to create, because the mutations are random..
Kinda like playing russian roulette with your crops. Create something that bioaccumulates and secretes arsenic in the seeds? Who knew!
GMO crops have variation as well. What, you think they can turn off regular mutation caused by good old sunlight or cosmic radiation?? You think what, they stitch together a long chain of ATCG's that is the entire genome of the GMO organism?
Man, if GMO were as controlled as some think it is, nobody would ever starve again.
No, they take for example, the genes responsible for root production in one variety of rice that is drought tolerant, and replace the corresponding genes in a variety that has a high yield. The result? A variety that is drought tolerant yet produces more per acre planted.
(And no, repeating "Brawk! First Principle" like you know what it means won't get you down, either.)
If it's not carbon-based, I'm not eating it!
Oh wait, no, that's part of the plan. Nevermind.
Sounds like a good paying job you've got there. Bet it makes for nice extra Christmas money. Hope it lasts.
