Nearly every food commercially sold was genetically modified by people. None of the varieties we buy at the grocery store exist in the wild.

Ok, so what word would you use to describe direct modification of a genetic sequence by another organism that would distinguish it from "selective breeding" and "hybridization"? Or do you not see the point in distinguishing?

Or are you just sharing a fun unrelated fact in a kind of weirdly confrontational way?

Both. 😜 There's a big, weird pushback against the latest technology but not against traditional, inefficient, shotgun genetic modification techniques like radiation and chemically induced mutation. So I like to pedantically (read obnoxiously) point out that the modern techniques are extremely safe

, well tested, well understood, precise, and better for the Earth than all previous techniques. "Non-GMO" is just a branding thing that unscrupulous companies pay for to promote their products to the misinformed. Like "organic".
