48. Non-GM varieties of corn, soybeans, tomatoes, apples, grapes, bananas....

aw fuck, just about EVERYTHING you eat didn't arise from evolution either. They were bred - i.e., GENETICALLY MODIFIED - to take on the characteristics they have today. If scientists, through selective breeding, had crafted a corn plant resistant to Roundup (which is what they have today with GMO), would it then be "safe"? What exactly would the difference be between that plant and the one we have today, other than the first one probably taking 20-30 years to make?
