This is different. For them to “patent” nature, they have to alter it in a way that makes it “new”. Breeding different types of plants is different from altering it to fight off toxic pesticides.

The source I purchase my essential oils from utilizes plant material and human hands to keep pests and weeds away, like God intended.

My issue with GMO food products is that the majority of the "Bioengineered food ingredients" they're using is from the corn syrup or other corn products.

The corn GMOs make the corn resistant to glyphosate herbicide so the farmers can spray their crops on a regular basis with chemicals that kill everything but the GMO corn.

Then we eat herbicide soaked corn.

Not to mention the climate issues and soil health issues associated with this style of massive scale chemical "farming."

Selective breeding and gene splicing are very, very different.

If God had meant for tomatoes to contain shrimp genes, He would have made tomatoes and shrimp sexually compatible.

Selective breeding means crossing one variety of tomato with another variety of tomato through cross-pollination. GMO means splicing genes into the tomato's DNA from a tobacco plant or an insect or ... name any life-form. Frankenfruit.
