    That’s why “GMO” is nonsense. Everything we eat has been genetically modified since we invented agriculture.

      while i dont have issues with GMOs. This isn’t really an example of that as its only selectively bred and then farming practices are used (like fertilizers and preventing pollination) to get seedless fruits. From what I understand, seedlessness in many fruits is done by farming work and not GMO-ing them.
