Anyone else find the "genetically modified" crops by Freakazoid 2014-02-04 06:30:43
thing rather amusing?

Was listening to a story about "GMO"* corn and a supplier that specialized in non-GMO corn.

This strikes me as highly amusing given one could make an argument that corn itself is genetically modified as it's nothing like the plant it started as. Was just done the "old fashioned" way via selective breeding.
