Ummmm....every modification was a change in the DNA.
The cross-breeding and selective breeding of the plant on the left altered the plant DNA until it resulted in the plant on the right.

Overpopulation fears drive CAGW, DDT bans and now this....
Passive aggressive genocide
Africa has also been growing rice for a long time. There are more than 10 million hectares of rice being grown in Africa today, and they produce more than 25 millions tonnes a year. Production growth is tracking almost 10% a year and rice is being grown in West and Central Africa as well as East and Southern Africa. The demand for rice in Africa far out strips production.
G2 rice would do well in Africa and could feed starving populations that also suffer from VAD. You should spend less time listening to Luddites who have no idea what they're talking about and more time finding the information for yourself. Allowing people to starve when the solution is in front of us (rice, not yams) is unforgivable.
Can you give me a link or reference to where “they modified the tomato to make more scopolamine and hyoscyamine in order to kill white fly”. I have search Google and can’t find anything and was this hybridization or a genetically modified event. Thanks
Touche'. Chipotle makes the least authentic, most artificial "Mexican" food available. Taco Bell is superior in that regard.
People who like Chipotle's are the same ilk as people who like burned coffee because they bought it at Starbucks.
But man has never altered the DNA of food until recently — no amount of selective breeding would result in the types of crops that being produced. The question remains or not the long-term effects of consuming GMOs are negative.

Who knows what critical aspects of the long, natural, hit-or-miss process of cross-breeding are missing from lab-engineered crops? You can't cheat at nature.
I know. Much more accurate, much faster changes.

You're mostly missing the misses. And the time wasted to get there.
Of course the DNA has been altered in the past.
Conservatives are for liberty. Food Nazis are scare mongers that want the government to get involved.
Currently a kilo of bananas is 0.99 euros at Aldi.
And no beans.
Certainly no guac as most avocados come from grafted trees that are genetic clones of one tree.
29 cents a pound in the US.
So about 60 cents/kilo. Saw an advertised (there are search engines for this kind of stuff!) price of 0.69 euro/kilo at another discount chain. Close enough to the US price by any practical measure.
Do you have to pay VAT or any other sales tax on that?
No - if you mean on TOP of that - it’s already included in the price (at an extortionist rate of 19%!). Remove that almost 20% and the ‘base’ costs are perhaps lower than in the US. Which would be an academic distinction at best, of course.
You raise a good point, though, for comparing prices posted ‘in the aisle’ when taxes are added at the checkout register. I believe that was only 4% or so back when I lived in Virginia in the ‘70s/’80s.
Chipotle deemed the country’s most liberal fast food restaurant.

“In unrelated news, Chipotle announced it will no longer make duffle-bag-sized burritos that are 4/5th rice.”
Did you know that they put in your burrito, what you tell them to?
My wife tells them NO RICE and gets none. So speak up, or don’t even go there.
Interesting...
I ate there yesterday, and I was full for at peastv12 hours vs GMO food that lasts about 4 or 5 hours.
