Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

The term GMO is used to describe organisms that have dna from a completely different organism artificially inserted into it in a lab. That cannot happen in nature, as we all know. Of course dna is changed through selective breeding etc but it's really apples to oranges here. Plants should not produce their own insecticide and bacterial dna doesn't hop into a plant or animal in nature. GMO, in this context, is COMPLETELY unnatural. The terminology will change later, as it's all about labeling, but the CONCEPT of this particular practice is what those of us buying non-gmo are against.

what I would like to know is when did "in a laboratory" become synonymous with GMO? What about the phrase "genetically modified organism" lends itself to such verbiage?
(Not you specifically! But thus is what crosses my mind when people say this at thus point of the conversation and typically people get angry and turn into bullies when you have questions for them. Please don't take this as a personal attack on you, Bethel)

I asked someone if they eat dead chicken and they said no

That is freakin hilarious! Lol
Well, assuming they eat chicken. I'm guessing they were saying something about you butchering your own maybe?

No, I don't. It's absolutely a valid question.
I really tthink it's probably an industry thing. Someone somewhere along the line probably called it that in their marketing, to distinguish it from hybrids, because they had to be touted as something way better. I really don't know. When they first came out, I wasn't paying a lot of attention and didn't hear the term until years later, though I was in college and hearing about it as it was being done...you know, the famous glow in the dark tobacco. That was the first example I'd ever heard of such a thing being done.

Speaking of which...When someone gets...say...A skin graft from another person...does the skin that regenerates from that base tissue have the DNA of the donor skin or that of the recipient of the graft?

yes it's why people with life threatening diseases cannot donate organs etc their was a famous case a few years ago of a girl that got a serious and rare type of lung cancer from a illegally obtained bone graft.
