Like Belle said, GMOs are pretty much the product of selective breeding. Except faster >.>
When you think about it, most of the animals we eat have been bred for maximum output(? Dunno if that would be the correct term in this situation, but it's the only one that comes to mind at the moment...>.>); in each generation, we only choose to breed the ones with a thicker coat, more fatty meat, etc. etc... That is essentially what GMOs do, except instead of having to wait several generations, we can just dive into their DNA to make the changes immediate. Though of course, I personally don't think that we have to worry about GMO-based products filling up the supermarket just yet. I don't think we're quite at that point where we can mess with an organism's DNA and get the result we wanted right away (that and cost and all that other fun stuff).
Of course, I could just be babbling/spouting words that have no real factual basis and you should probably ignore me if that's the case sweatdrop
