@SnipSnip she is not wrong. You just think that genetic engineering is something new.
Corn was cultivated over 1000’s of generations to take something that’s basically inedible to what we know today. Corn wouldn’t exist without human intervention and indeed can’t exist without it even today.
The fact that all this happened 6–8000 years ago doesn’t mean it wasn’t engineered.
@kritiper Cauliflower isn’t really popped, it is simply broken up until it looks like popcorn, then buttered and roasted in the oven, with a generous helping of salt and perhaps other flavoring, as desired.
