sezze Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 TBH , GMO's are not something i do like right now . I do work in chemical industry and do have a chem degree . Will GMO's do harm health ? no prob not . However , it might/will destroy habitats of a food chain . Give me a closer to nature fruit rather then a mass produced food item . Is it healthier , prob not , does it taste better , sometimes it does ( but never worse) . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years can be a few thousand years...that is not long at all. Depends on your perspective. More or less 1 thousand years is no time at all in grand scheme of things. Could be only a hundred or so years. You are getting too hi f up on precise time when it's not the point of my post. I got this link. It's interesting reading. I was using the ideas in my original post to highlight the difference between genetically modified organisms which have had generic material from other species spliced into their DNA make up, and those which are simply selectively bred for desired characteristics for domestication. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adumbration Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 They will let pink pineapples into the country shortly. They just need to get the 300% import tax in place. The GM food issue is just a smoke screen to buy some time to work who will receive the brown paper bags from this new cash cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmon Jac, let’s get serious here… if poodles are forking poodles for 1 to 1,000,000 years they will still be poodles. If they fork German Sheppard’s they will probably look a bit more wolfy, but let’s keep it real huh ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's talking about letting all dogs fork whatever they want and eventually all the breeds we know will end up disappearing and there will be only real dogs produced.

I am in no way insulting you here, but it's clear you have little knowledge of genetics or zoology, evolution etc You must realise that poodles and the fancy dog breeds of today have mostly been created in the last few hundred years right? Even in the last 50 or so years the show breeds are very different to how they were then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
