The modern, laboratory sense is just a more efficient way of doing exactly what farmers were doing 5,000 years ago. Like all technology, genetic modification isn't inherently good or evil, it's how the people who control the technology use it that matters. Monsanto et al are bad because they're controlled by capital.
The potato, and everything else we eat that isn't wild game, is bio-engineered. Have you ever seen a wild cucumber? They're like a cm long.
well yeah but I meant in the modern laboratory sense and not in the historic agriculture sense

you're correct but please let me have my alluding to futuristic gene splicing vegetable/starch thats actually been around forever take here
Oh, aliens definitely used quantum entanglement to send the potato back in time.
not quite what I was going for but thank you none the less
ok well some of the shit where you use genes from something else entirely
that wasn't gonna happen in any reasonable timescale the old way
AND IT'S SUPER COOL
