why we play God
Vej.... The reason for splicing is addiction to fat, sugar and profit. In nature we gravitate to foods high in fat because they are extremely rare and hard to get. I tried to open a natural almond on a beach in Puerto Rico 25 years ago and it made a dramatic impression on me. It was really hard to get that measly little nut out of all those layers. It was not worth all the trouble. But now we have machines that do it and still want more fat faster. Those pigs were bred that way to be very high in fat and weigh a lot. In nature fruit is also not easy to find and our natural food so we crave the sugar in it. Fruits that are hybridized are done so for a higher sugar content and the gmo varieties' sugar content is off the chart. That makes consumers buy them which equals money. The splicing also makes food deteriorate slower and stay better to market, look nicer and cheaper which all equals less losses and more money. It's all about addiction and greed.
btw, I would imagine that God is shaking her head saying, well, if you're going to play "me" at least try to do a little better job of it!
