Question - GM Foods

[Guest guest]

Can anyone tell me the difference between Genetically Modified Foods

and " Hybrids " ? Often when I hear people talking about GM foods I'm

wondering if they are also lumping hybrids in with them. Any

input/opinions, etc would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Genetically modified foods have had genes from a different species

spliced into them. Ie. fish genes in tomatoes, human genes in rice.

and corn with some kind of pesticide. Totally disgusting I think. A

hybrid is the combining of two different plant types. You are right

some people think they are the same thing. They are not.

 

Best wishes
