And vegans or people who do cross fit.

Stay safe, white people of B-more. Yes, even you Aaron.

An example of epigenetics is where the genome is actually the same, but the expression is different due to methylations, acylations, histone modifications. These changes in gene expression can be brought about by the environment. Look up the Fox-Farm experiment where they domesticated foxes.

Selective breeding and altering environment conditions could be fall under epigenetics, but most will agree GMO = doing shit in a lab with scientists in lab coats who think they're god.

My entire point is saying GMOs are bad is akin to saying black people are bad. It simply does not work that way. Can genetically modified food have less nutrition, taste, or more dangers to health? Sure it's possible, but it would have to be engineered to have those traits. You really think Monsanto is going to dump millions into research so they can develop food that endangers health, I don't think so. The politics of GMO are fucked and anti-GMO lobbying only makes matters worse by raising the entrance cost for biotech companies, which means the market becomes a monopoly. I'm not praising Monsanto for they do a lot of shit I don't agree with, but as far as the science goes, yeah I'm on board. Eg: natural potatoes contain acrylamide which is a known neurotoxin, albeit in low amounts, but cooking at high heat forms more. One type of "GMO" potato produces no acrylamide, other than that it's the same motherfucking potato. Or even better inserting the cry protein genes into crops that get infested with insects. Cry proteins are produced from Bacillus thuringiensis. Certain insects have a high enough pH in their intestines that cry proteins will become soluble and digestive enzymes will cleave the proteins. One of the resulting cleavages creates an active enzyme that creates pores in cell membranes, effectively killing the insect. Pretty fucking neat. So you insert the genes for cry proteins into a crop then any insects that come around and try eating it fucking die, leaving us with crops so we can eat. Now I'm sure you're thinking well that cry protein doesn't sound like something I want to eat as it'll fuck me up too, I don't want no motherfucking holes in my cells. Fortunately our digestive system does not reach the pH needed in order to dissolve the protein so our digestive enzymes (proteases) can't cleave it, so it stays inactive, and we shit it out. If you can't get on board with the idea of two different environments (one causing it to be active and another leaving it inactive) being the single thing keeping it from fucking us up than that's because you don't understand biochemistry. Then you have people who claim that GMOs can pass their DNA to us when we eat it, thus fucking up our genome. That is complete motherfucking bullshit. That's like saying you're happy to have a white car, but don't want a purple car because the fumes from the paint can't be healthy, makes no fucking sense. If we couldn't slice up DNA from other organisms (GMO or not) than we would have died from day zero, meaning you could sprinkle the DNA that codes for ricin, botox, whatever on my cheerios and it wouldn't do shit as the nucleases secreted by my pancreas would slice that shit up to a bunch of nucleic acids. Genetically modifying foods is a process or technique, not a product. A gun laying on the kitchen table isn't going to jump up, travel 100miles, and shoot someone in the face.

That and I despise racists.

I respect illegals because they have the balls to do whatever it takes so they can work and make a better life. I can't judge them for coming here illegally, I did nothing in life to get my citizenship, the only difference between them and me is I was lucky enough to be born on one side of an arbitrary line. I'm also willing to bet they're harder working than the majority of my generation (including me).

Stephen - I am just pushing you to think before blaring out stupid shit about ethnicity. It isn't Mexicans, or Illegals you hate, but people living in CA. Those are called Californians. Too many of those fuckers for sure. Putting yourself on a high horse above people that are working just as hard if not harder than you to make a good life for themselves is absurd. You may be luckier than them, but neither of you deserves more than the other. Racism is one of the ugliest traits of humankind, stop it.

All of it!! As a good friend said. Life is interesting, be interested is how to simplify that!
