    But nobody means selective breeding when they say GMO. That term emerged specifically to describe the products of genetic engineering. There a plenty of legitimate concerns.

      Ehhh, I’ve heard people say the covid vaccine was genetic modification. It’s just too vague a term to be actually useful.

      Sure but I’ve legit heard people call selectively breed things GMO because it was exceptionally specific and broad in its effects. Also I am not going to take some of these bumper sticker types seriously until I stop seeing non-GMO stickers on inorganic products like salt or water.
