[QUOTE="gst, post: 41797, member: 373"] It was accomplished thru selective breeding, but that selective breeding resulted in a genetically modified animal from the horned hereford. Those animals have different genetic markers than a horned hereford. It is not the same as genetic manipulation but it is in fact a genetic modification that has been exploited. That is why there is so many differing genetic modifications as well as manipulations that one can not lump them all together when discussing them. Golden rice is an example of "GMO" that has saved countless lives and blindness. Yet people lump it in with all GMO's when claiming how evil and bad they are. Indeed science has to be held accountable for what it is doing and sound science has to be the base line for technology advancements. But the reality is in a world where the population will reach 9 billion people by 2050, GMO will be necessary to feed the world. I am a staunch supporter of your ability to choose what foods you wish to purchase and to have the option of knowing where and who and how your foods were raised, (I want to be part of capturing the value that may have to you and others without the govt interferring) but we also have to produce safe available food for those that do not have the extra income to buy organic or sourced foods. GMO technologies will allow that. [/QUOTE]
