It's not just before GMO, chemical mutagens and radiation/nuclear mutagens are still quire popular and they are AOK to be labeled organic in many places as long as the newly created mutated plants are grown organically...
Just because such practices may be allowed under current "organic" labelling regulations doesnt mean that one has to think they are a good idea either. just because i would prefer to grow organically myself and see less GE cropping in favor of organic practices generally doesnt mean i have to also condone everything that every other OG farm or breeder does. Nor am i alone. a lot of OG and more sustainably minded breeders arent too keen on these practices any more than certain GE practices.
its not black and white, but with all due respect throwing out red herrings arguments like those into a debate doesnt help anything either imho...
