Greetings,
I had so many suspicions about GM food when I first heard about it. A couple of years ago I spoke to a genetic engineer to see if my suspicions were true. The genetic engineer is a brother of a friend of mine. I am first going to describe the process of genetic modification and then I will describe how Babylon can alter people's mood and temperment using GM foods.
Babylon has very little understanding of DNA. They can't pinpoint a particular characteristic in the DNA to only change that characterictic. What they do is they get a DNA strand from a plant or animal that contains the characteristic that they want along with a set of other characteristics. The new DNA strand is similar to the DNA strand that they are replacing in the plant, so it takes the place of the old DNA strand, almost like a puzzle piece. When they introduce the new DNA they don't just change the one characteristic of the plant, but other things change in it that they have no knowledge about.
The genetic engineer explained to I one of the processes that they use to mix the genes. They shoot out a spray of microscopic pellets that have the new DNA strands attached to them. The pellets are shot at a leaf for example. When this occurs some of the genes enter into certain cells and others don't.
They then grow all the cells of the plant. The cells that contain the new DNA still have the old DNA within as well. It is not until the cells split that the new DNA strand is separated from the old and replaces it in some of the cells. When the plant grows enough that they can recognize the characteristics of the changed DNA, then they separate the plants and grow only the ones that were altered.
After this, they do a little testing on the plant to see if they can find any problems caused by the unknown characteristics of the new DNA. If they don't notice any problems or dangers, then they just "assume" that the other characteristics are insignificant and don't affect the plant. But they don't have the slightest idea what these other characteristics changed, they only know that they can't see the change.
MOOD ALTERATION
I asked the genetic engineer if it is possible to change the DNA of a plant so that when we eat it, it will either provide us with, or cause us to produce a certain hormone. When you look at the affects of hormones like testosterone(can promote anger), adrenaline, or seretonin (involved in schizophrenia and depression), then you can see what is possible for Babylon.
The genetic engineer confirmed that it is possible for them to change the DNA so that certain hormone levels can be produced. And he also confirmed that doing this could alter people's emotions, temperment, strength, mental and physical health and so many other factors. But he then asked I "why would anyone want to do this?". I laughed to Iself when he said that, thinking how oblivious some people are to the ways and intentions of Babylon.
