then everything you've ever eaten would have altered your own DNA. It just doesn't work the way you are insinuating.
Oh I understand it's a giant stretch. Which is why the qualifier;
I'm not sure if digestion translate to genetic inscription, but for the sake of the theoretical let's say that it does.
The "I'm not sure" was just there because while I do "know" it doesn't work, I'm not studied on the topic so I didn't want to proclaim as such.
You don't need to be well studied on the topic because it is plain to see that people are not changing into chickens or corn from eating it. You don't have tomato DNA in your cells from eating salads.
Sure. But (((GMO)))s do have deleterious effects on health. So...
All modern cultivars of food crops are GMOs, but not necessarily due to genetic splicing/CRISPR. Humans have been selectively changing plant and animal DNA by cross-breeding, cross-pollination, grafting hybrids and general trait selection by favoring some natural mutations above others. This leads to genetic manipulation and therefore makes them GMOs. Compare maize to modern corn and you will see no resemblance. This happened long before gene splicing and other direct genetic modification technologies came about. All domesticated dogs and cats are GMOs by breeding, but don't eat them for other reasons.
