EDIT: OP cleared up the confusion, thanks for that
I … what? This is such a gigantic leap, going from Teosinte to modern day mazie and calling it a GMO, what is it even suppoed to mean? We shouldn’t use domesticated plant?
I am seriously scared by the lack of what I consider to be general knowledge of breeding in the general population, have people stopped going to school in the last 5 years?
Well, alright thanks for clearing that up.
I understand the meme now, although I still struggle with the … unusual use of terminology.
But yes, it very much makes sense to show teosinte then!
Then again, depending on if you count CRISPR gene editing as GMO, the terminology fits perfect. CRISPR does exactly the same as breeding, just with perfection and knowing what happend on molecular biological level.

It’s pro-GMO, showing we’ve always modified plants.
