Just Bob aka Robert Thompson, plugging my film blog cinemainferno-blog.blogspot.co.uk Started conversation Jun 21, 2013
This was in a response to a Facebook post I did. If it had been on here, I would be nominating it right now for Quote of the Day.
You see, I heard a debate earlier today on Genetic Modification. One of the pro-GM people said that ordinary crops that are known to be dangerous are used all the time, as opposed to GM crops we know are pretty definitely not dangerous. Asked for an example, she pointed out that raw potatoes are toxic! This was news to me, but seemed like the kind of thing everyone else might know but me, so I stuck it on FB.
In the subsequent discussion, a guy I know said that GM crop design was arguably considerably safer than 'natural' hybridisation, because you only changed one thing at a time.
Now here's the zinger. He concluded with:
"In fact, a fair amount of commercial crop species were generated from mutation breeding: basically just bombarding the seeds with radiation and seeing if anything that turned out to be delicious happened." 
Key: Complain about this post
