BREEDING PLANTS IS NOT GMO. Genetic modification is a targeted manipulation of the genome. Equating traditional breeding to genetic engineering is honestly one of the most irritating misrepresentations what biotechnology actually does.
It's not a targeted manipulation of the genome. It's a coincidental recombination and inheritance of parental traits. It's a targeted manipulation of the phenotypes. You could argue with marker assisted selection that we are now manipulating genomes, but that's a relatively recent development. Certainly not one humans have been doing since the dawn of agriculture.

by definition, plant breeding is targeted manipulation of the genome, it's just not as precise or direct as modern genetic engineering techniques
