Do you think the Native Americans hundreds of years ago were wearing lab coats in clean rooms, CRISPRing fucking maize? Selective breeding is different than genetic modification. If you don’t even know what it is or what you’re talking about about AT ALL, to the point where you’re conflating two completely dissimilar terms, maybe you should keep your opinions to yourself.
Sorry, but it doesn’t seem like you know what you’re talking about. It’s essentially the same process, the GMO process is just faster. Also, it was done well before CRISPR was a big thing.

GMO is not monocropping either.
Monocropping sucks for other reasons
So you should indeed keep your opinion to yourself, then.

Hilariously ironic of you
I know what you’re saying in a way but with crispr you can change single genes and have specific targets. A cross changes thousands of genes at a time
Nope. Both are genetic modifications.
Also not true. CRISPR is bacteria mechanism and is not used in plants.
CRISPR would work for other organisms wouldn’t it?
It would if they had it. AFAIR usually viral vector is used. I recommend you watching thisl channel.
I can’t imagine an organism (other than a virus) that doesn’t have a virial vector to exploit.
Viral vector is virus that can’t self-replicate
I thought it was the method a virus uses to splice itself into the hosts DNA.
