        They’re all GMO. The whole point of agriculture for thousands of years has been to selectively cross crops, modifying their genes, to produce new cultivars.

        Unless you find some island that has never had human contact, your crops have been genetically modified.

          Understand what you're saying, but just in the off-chance you're not talking with tongue-firmly-in-cheek:

          A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.

          — Wikipedia

            @Member 0230: Does that really make any difference? Any mutation, through genetic engineering or chance, could have positive or negative effects.

            • Member 0230 on 10/09/2019 - 20:33
              +4

              @grumpybum: I’m no specialist in this area, but from my purely layperson perspective, I think it does make a difference.

              When crops are left to themselves or deliberately cross-bred, you’re limited to a set of naturally-occurring results.

              However, with human intervention and the deliberate insertion of, say, a specific bacterium into a plant genome such as GM Canola, i.e., something that cannot occur naturally, then all bets are off.

              As far as your statement, I guess it can have positive or negative effects regardless of how it originates, but deliberate GE techniques of splicing genes from totally different species are very contentious, e.g., Monsanto Loses Another Roundup Cancer Trial, With Jury Awarding Over $3 Billion

        • BooYa on 28/09/2019 - 12:18

          Also, don't forget random mutations, for example those that result from DNA damage by high energy radiation (such as that that comes from space).

          Those are genetic changes that would also not occur "naturally".

          Taste depends on the roll of the genetic dice, apparently.

          • GregMonarch on 09/09/2019 - 09:40

            @kiteo: Actually I don't know if I'm one of those people or not. I've bought it a few times now to use in chinese cooking. But it doesn't taste like citrus to me (which it supposedly does!?), OR soap. I can't even lean toward one of those directions because it doesn't remind me of anything else, so I can't even describe it to someone (or myself).

            I cannot smell it either, which is linked to taste, which makes pinpointing it even harder. It's like trying to taste something with your nose pinched shut, then letting go and going "ah - I know what that is now" - but the second part never happens with coriander. Are you supposed to be able to smell it?

            It could be because I'm getting it from the supermarket. i.e. So often their 'fresh food' tastes awful. I haven't had a nice tomato since I was a child, bananas only vaguely resemble how they tasted from my grandmother's backyard tree, even spring onions have become like old grass clippings the last several years, because they let them grow too large before harvesting. I remember growing zucchini and squash years ago - and I was shocked how good they tasted - ALL supermarket ones have an AWFUL tart 'old' taste when you bite into them - not the ones I grew - that awful taste was completely absent.

            So maybe that is why I can't pinpoint the taste of coriander? Maybe I'll have to grow some to get the 'proper' taste first, because supermarket food doesn't taste like real food?

    • [Deactivated] on 09/09/2019 - 19:31

      Don't blame coriander; blame your taste receptors.If yummy coriander tastes like soap to you, the issue is genetic. You have a variation in a group of olfactory-receptor genes that allows you to strongly perceive the soapy-flavored aldehydes in the coriander leaves.

      • Cluster on 11/09/2019 - 12:53

        All mushroom kits are crap. You pay $20 to get maybe $5 of mushrooms, then nothing more. Trying to 'resurrect' the kits with fertilizer might produce a second flush of a few miserable mushrooms. Bunnings got rid of their kits a couple of years ago.
