https://www.popcorn.org/All-About-Popcorn/Popcorn-Myths states: Myth #1 – Popcorn is GMO. There has never been, nor is there currently, any Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) popcorn or popcorn seed for sale in the U.S. Further, the Popcorn Board is not aware of any GMO popcorn or popcorn seed available for sale in international markets.
From what I’ve read from other sources as well, when a GMO popcorn is created, it won’t pop. Making it GMO takes the pop out.
800 million years of random Genetic Modification thru what we call random evolution , and we are worried about Man made Genetic Modification. People Man has been modifying life on earth for the past 150 million years or more. Such as the Chicken. The Chicken has been Genetically Modified by Man for over a Million years. The Chicken is not Natural. Corn, yellow Corn we eat today is a type of Genetic Modification of maize the original corn we found in the Americas. We have no clue of the different actions, that have happened thru random evolution over the last 800 million years. Why are we worried about (Human a natural product of evolution’s) doing Genetic Modification. We already have more than 700 species of plants growing in North America have caused illness or death in humans. We already have at least 10,000 diseases in the world, that can kill you. All as a result of Genetic Modification thru evolution. Maybe we can do better? Maybe it’s our nature to do better?

GMO is responsible for nearly all our foods and flowers! It’s called Cross Pollination!

If he takes the popcorn, he’ll be a bird kernel.

I’m trying to maintain a balanced diet. Is popcorn considered to be a grain, or a vegetable?

Are you a non-hybridized bluejay?

It seems anyone (and even avian characters) are on the bandwagon when it comes to food ingredients.
