GMO Toxins and Pregnant Women

Sure, as long as you define human tampering and selection as "natural processes". Of course, GM then becomes a "natural process" as well. The food we eat would likely never have evolved on it's own, it can't survive without us. We did it low tech over thousands of years, but the changes were no less profound. GM shortens the time-span involved (and in some cases yeah, it does give us an even broader selection of genes to choose from). Most everything we eat has been genetically modified, by human beings, by means and processes which do not occur in nature ( to use the phrase loosely).

I think you overlook my point.
We bring the different plants together to "breed" maybe, but everything occurs via natural processes. Like, you can plant a a seed into the earth with you hand, or it can also fall from a tree, and sprout there aswell, you simply help the plant to get to the earth, and a more fertile soil, if that is. Other than that, you do not tamper with it's being.
Such is the breeding of plants and animals.
You simply help them get together, and you leave it alone after that.
GMO's, however are done within laboratories. In my opinion, they also hold an even more sinister purpose within themselves, as they are at the hands of private corporations, most of the time.
I also do not think that the GMO industry operates within Bioethical considerations.
For that reason I've always opposed GMO's in my own country, and hopefully, such foreign and unnatural things won't ever be planted in the soil of Turan.

The term, "low tech" is, in my opinion, a rather subjective term.
You can produce well-yielding plants without actually subjecting their genes to such artificial modifications, and you don't have to answer to nobody when planting the seeds once more after a harvest.

I'd look at GMO's in a better light in a world where no lust for profit existed, however I don't think that not I, nor my grandchildren will see that day.
Besides, there is also the question of the quality of the products.
I'm not sure how many of you have tasted a season-grown, natural tomato ever, but I can tell you that you cannot compare the taste of such a tomato with a tomato that is grown throughout the year within a greenhouse, just like you cannot compare the taste of a caught fish with a grown fish in farms.
