I agree completely! That’s why I added the bit about not thinking what Monsanto (and others) are doing is on the same level as my initial examples of “everyday” GMO.
Not meaning to be snide, but at its basic level this has been occurring for a long time. Not that I think modern day gmo *cough Monsanto *cough is the same as good old fashioned gmo.
