Altered Genes, Twisted Truth: How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science

11. The line of demarcation is fuzzy.

That is what the science unequivocally says.

In fact, of your body mass, much of it is bacterial, more cells in fact.

So these silly, ignorant Frankenfood arguments are based on ignorance, not science.

And it also ignores the entire science of evolutionary biology, that all life forms that we know of share a common genetic heritage. We were all bacterial before we became sponge form, before we became Cambrian sea creatures, before we became fish, before we became quadrupeds, before we became amphibian, before we became reptilian, before we became mammals, etc.

We share all those genetic lineages in our genes.

And people are getting their shorts all in a bunch about some gene splicing that nature has been doing for billions of years and that humans have been doing for thousands?

That makes for a very silly argument given that there is absolutely zero scientific evidence that genetic modification is in anyway harmful to humans. Even the basic science does not support that hypothesis.
