I read the paper. I already know organic food is better than GMO, people have been farming organically 99% of humanities existence compared to GMO. If you want to eat that man made manipulation of nature you can but I'll just eat the nature. No synthetic is good for organic lifeforms which humans are. You humans think you can out perform nature but you can't.
Food crops have been manipulated(domesticated) by humans for thousands of years before GMOs.

Genetically modified food where the DNA is changed in a laboratory with CRISPR technology is not the same. I can't keep educating you layman on things you clearly just need to learn. Is not the same as agricultural domestication of crops. Once again TRAVEL to different places, maybe talk to some farmers one on one and get to know what's really happening over here in the real world.
If you think mixing a tomatoe with fish DNA so it can grow in the winter is natural you are too far gone.
Why would random genetic mutation be better in principle from selected?
Lol, you KNOW do you. That sounds like a religious belief. When you come to a conclusion based upon a belief and then try to force facts to fit it.
Yep that doesn't work for me.
When you travel around the world and see they eat organic you'll understand
I'm afraid research and data settles debates more than personal anecdotes.
Only among people who attempt to overcome their innate bias and come to rational conclusions based on evidence.
