Some more food for thought, health benefits of watermelon seeds.

only this week was i able to get seeded watermelon but usually there is only seedless watermelons available to me. So anyway I am still glad they aren't GMO. still sad they aren't the healthiest option.

If you think in terms of the social aspect of seedless watermelons, then you get the same effect than gmos: farmers are dependent on seed companies to be able to offer those watermelons on the market. Farmers loose their independence and their ability to reproduce their own seeds. The more people want/buy seedless watermelon, the more farmers are "forced" by the market to give up their independence and give a good part of their revenue to big corps...

I don't want seedless watermelons.

Every human intervention in natural growth is dangerous. Hybrids are the same harmful like gmo. I would not eat a fruit that is not able to reproduce itself. And seedless melons, grapes, bananasa....all that fruits  are not able to reproduce themself. Absolute unnatural. Nature would never invent something like that. Absolute against the evolution.

If you don't mind and can, will you tell us how to tell the difference between DNA gene spliced foods and selective breeding? I know there isn't just one answer like a 9 on plu codes.

Many things seem stupid once you know the answers.

This is the same stupid paranoia that surrounds bananas "oh they're clones, they don't have seeds"  So? There's a big difference between selectively breeding plants and actually splicing their DNA.

I'd also been wondering about that for awhile now. Thanks for sharing.
