Back in late August a brief clip was posted on Dr Tyson’s off the cuff response to claims against GMO foods. On the science aspects of GMOs he is pretty good.
Comments Tyson:
“Practically every food you buy in a store for consumption by humans is genetically modified food…There are no wild, seedless watermelons. There’s no wild cows…You list all the fruit, and all the vegetables, and ask yourself, is there a wild counterpart to this? If there is, it’s not as large, it’s not as sweet, it’s not as juicy, and it has way more seeds in it. We have systematically genetically modified all the foods, the vegetables and animals that we have eaten ever since we cultivated them. It’s called artificial selection.”
