Is it Natural, Part 2

A GMO is a genetically modified organism who genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Some of the techniques include: Isolation of Chromosomes, isolation and purification of nucleic acids, alternative methods of DNA sequencing, chemical synthesis of DNA etc.  

So to simplify, we are basically choosing which genes we would like to keep, which we would like to take out and which we would like to alter.  Sounds like a Frankenstein project to me.  For all of my readers, who saw the black and white version of the movie, where scientist Victor Frankenstein did crazy scientific experiments in his laboratory to create a monster.  This is a picture of how modification can occur.

Foods that have been genetically modified are just like the monster that was produced.  The scientist wanted to create. He wanted to experiment with what he saw, taking out this and that to produce the monster. This is just like taking a piece of a smaller apple, taking a piece of a larger apple via breeding, adding some processes and fillers, taking out seeds through grafting to become some of the seedless fruits we see and eat today.  

Now if you love science projects, but don't want to eat the results, foods that have been produced this way are not the way to go.
