I think you two have different images in your minds. You say "genetically modify" as in "modify the food through choosing which genes are to prevail", while the other means "modify genes directly to affect the food", and in that sense selective breeding isn't GMO because no genes have been modified, but rather encouraged. You modify the genetic structure of future generations through natural means, not the organism directly.

Don't know what scientists say, I just see the other comment downvoted when they have a fair point.
