So I bought a shitty cheeseburger from the dollar store and it said that the burger contained bioengineered ingredients . So I'm all day looking for **exactly** what genetic material is used in bioengineering beef. There is not a single website that I can find that will tell me.

If it's ok to eat, why do they not disclose the genetic material I'm eating? I'm not asking about this specific burger, just what is frequently used in beef.

Is there anyone else who has trouble buying products that proudly advertise being non GMO?

They are feeding into such anti science nonsense that it bothers me to support them. I try my best to avoid “non GMO” and I was wondering if anyone else does this. Is there any brand that proudly advertises GMO ingredients ?

Looking for guidance

Hi all, I found this video on GMO oranges, is this real? I think they have them in California but I live in Maine, can anyone confirm?

Where to get Glowing plants for purchase or DIY?

In 2013-2018 glowing plants were a big buzz but between the GMO scares the Depression we had and then covid pandemic the dream faded out but I'm curious does anyone know where I could purchase any at more affordable rate than the tree bellow

There was a Kickstart in the past for 30-80$ for glowing moss and I found this bellow but is there middle ground between those ? Or a DIY page out there ?

Tiger salamander with fins! (Tigertaalik)

Hi! I'm really interested in paleontology and critters and this is why I made drew this quick lil drawing to represent it. I have the idea to revert a salamander (Preferably mole salamander) into having fish like body parts, mostly fins instead of hands and a flat head. my plan is to get them into the pet-trade just like glofish did when I'm older. the only problem is I know absolutely nothing about genetic modification and I'm a child. So I am extremely limited.

Question about gene editing

I’m not very experienced with how any of this worked so i’m just trying to understand better, say a plant produces a compound in its fruit, and you find the part of the plant’s genome that encodes the creation of that compound, could you copy and paste it, so there’s multiple copies of that same genetic code in its genome so that it produces more of that compound?

Are there any non gmo fruits and vegetables left in grocery stores?

Where I live, Whole Foods sells only “yellow” potatoes, no Yukon Golds. Also “Orange” and “red” sweet potatoes, no named varieties. They stopped naming corn varieties a long time ago, but it seems that recently more stores have more generic produce. I have asked the produce department but they don’t know what kind of potatoes wthey sell. I do t know much about gmos. What do you think about gmo foods?

Is it possible to increase the amount of anthocyadins in a plant? Specifically blue ones like delphinidin and cyanidin

Blue roses and phalaenopsis orchids were made possible thanks to GMO, but their color are both more purple rather than blue, and I was wondering, would there be any way to make the pigment concentration higher?

Hi, is there any way to take negative geotropism out of a banana’s dna? If so, could it be added to other fruits?

Bananas have such an interesting shape, and banana shaped fruit could break the economy. Is there a way?

What are GMOs?

I learnt a lot about the science and biotech behind GMOs. I didn't know the bacteria they use to make GMO does a similar thing in nature! A decent intro video.

Non GMO nutritionists

Hey there just curious if there’s any good nutritionist or food coaches out there in Australia? Would like to try a more natural diet I do eat pretty well but have been learning a few things about natural non GMO foods and would like to give it a go but finding it hard to come across people who specialise in that

Non-GMO claims

How can a company claim Non-GMO that uses product caught in the wild, i.e tuna?

With all the pollution and who knows what else that ends up in the ocean and in water in general how is it they can claim that the food is Non-GMO. I would want to believe that pretty much everything we put in our mouths has been at some point genetically modified from, albeit maybe not intentionally, its organic origins.

Does Bill Gates eat GMO food?

Does Bill Gates, and other wealthy people who support GMO foods actually eat it themselves? Shouldn't the fact that this guy bought over 200k acres of farmland, and is famous for expressing a desire for population control be a huge red flag for every American? Why let him, or any wealthy person do anything that can affect the health of millions of people?
