My beagle is a GMO but she is not genetically engineered. Her traits are a result of selective breeding for hundreds of years not because her genes were sliced and diced in a biotech lab.<br /><br />National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) defined genetically engineered as "made with techniques that alter the molecular or cell biology of an organism by means that are not possible under natural conditions or processes."<br /><br />The USDA's definition of genetic engineering is "manipulation of an organism's genes by introducing, eliminating or rearranging specific genes using the methods of modern molecular biology, particularly those techniques referred to as recombinant DNA techniques."<br /><br />The Codex Alimentarius Commission defines it as "Genetically engineered/modified organisms, and products thereof, are produced through techniques in which the genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination." (or transduction)<br /><br />The USDA regulations define genetic modification as more broad in scope than genetic engineering: "the production of heritable improvements in plants or animals for specific uses, via either genetic engineering or other more traditional methods."Parker C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464253324658824659.post-9883640194756717812015-06-01T15:26:29.076-04:002015-06-01T15:26:29.076-04:00Ernest Short, both can be used effectively for bot...Ernest Short, both can be used effectively for both things, but genetic engineering is usually used to refer to the scientific practice of taking a gene from one organism and inserting it into another, whereas genetic modification can be used more widely, including cross-breeding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464253324658824659.post-5117774541128322722014-11-21T08:51:41.628-05:002014-11-21T08:51:41.628-05:00Err....you are the one confused.

If you have a boxer and a mastiff and you breed them, you just did genetical engineering.

Terms of a license agree<br />ment require that seed purchasers first attend a 1-hour<br />orientation course, offered periodically." <br /><br />But do those growing Non-GE papayas from seed tainted by their neighbors GE papayas have to attend the course? Do they know they are now growing an unnatural plant? No and no.<br /><br />AlohaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464253324658824659.post-41808594386417550002014-08-14T13:50:25.191-04:002014-08-14T13:50:25.191-04:00Please spare us the semantics and attempt to confu...Please spare us the semantics and attempt to confuse which many already bought lock stock &<br /><b>Genetically engineered organisms such as beets or corn are modified via genetic engineering.</b><br />As are glowing trees and GMO salmon.<br />Do you think were all sleeping and dumb do you think I can't see right through this blog to you master?<br />Mianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464253324658824659.post-37054626904457253072014-08-14T13:45:06.288-04:002014-08-14T13:45:06.288-04:00What nonsense, attempting to suggest that there...What nonsense, attempting to suggest that there's any difference, while the words used actually say otherwise.penguinhttp://cleverpenguin.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464253324658824659.post-75224824375436183622014-04-21T09:06:42.329-04:002014-04-21T09:06:42.329-04:00What if the food states only Ge free but not GMO What if the food states only Ge free but not GMO Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464253324658824659.post-49288266594897013782014-04-11T20:33:14.815-04:002014-04-11T20:33:14.815-04:00No. GMO includes GE.
