Sen Ruderman, where is the proof

[geochem]

By your definition, nearly all farmed crops are artificial - nearly all farmed crops are the result of human intervention to improve the yield, improve the resistance to disease, improve the quality (perceived or real) of the product on the store shelves.

What is truly artificial is your distinction between crop improvement arising from random natural or nuclear-induced genetic variations and targeted introduction of genetic characteristics through genetic engineering methods. What's unethical is demonizing a technology and then demanding that foods produced with that technology be branded so that they will be less competitive in the free market. What's unethical is your insistence on using fraudulent studies to support your position while you denigrate legitimate scientific results that have been produced by disinterested scientists.

And what's pointless is any expectation that logic or ethics will influence your point of view.
