And then there are the funny ones, the species that humans didn't deliberately train to be edible but snuck their way into our crops by mimicking other crops, kind of a halfway point between artificial and natural selection lol. Rye became edible because it shifted to look more like wheat because farmers would pull out the rye and leave in the wheat, so any rye that looked sufficiently like wheat was able to survive to the next generation, which eventually morphed the plant into something more edible for us too

Animals as well. People chose to slaughter the weakest ones and to keep breeding the strongest animals or the ones that were giving the most milk and eggs. Unfortunately, the same crops are grown globally and the same animals are farmed globally. People are talking about endangered animals going extinct, but not a word about the already extinct plants. Animals feed on specific plants, and if those plants go extinct, animals will also die. Globalization is how we lose all kinds of diversity.

Most citrus are polyembryonic - muliple seedlings can grow from a single seed. Usually, the strongest seedling is a genetic clone and true-to-type. The reason citrus are grafted are that seedlings will typically grow straight and become thorny, and because fruiting takes many more years from seed than from a graft.

@Bla Bla: Actually none of these foods are truly "man-made". They've all been hybridized or grafted within their own species to improve them. The only foods that are truly "man-made" are those first created in laboratories, not in fields or gardens or greenhouses. GMOs are man-made because they've deliberately mixed genetic material from different species, including animals, humans, and marine life together with plants species and chemicals. BTW, for several years both Pepsi and Coca-Cola products have contained human placental tissue. Lemon-lime-flavored soft drinks (7-Up, Sprite, Fresca, and Mountain Dew) get their citrusy flavor from one of the same ingredients used to make anti-freeze. Aspartame (artificial "sweetener" used in diet foods, boxed cereals, and even children's vitamins) is a derivative of formaldehyde. If you care what you eat, it's a good idea to read labels, and look up any words (ingredients) you don't know or can't pronounce. Personally? I have no problem with hybridized food. We would have very limited diet without it. But I don't eat anything that I don't exactly what's in it and where it came from.

Some would argue that there was actually 4 original citrus plants; the pomelo, citron, mandarin, and the papeda. I've heard debates about the kumquat being a possible fifth, though I'm not sure how true that is. The way citrus plants cross pollinate is as fascinating as it is complex. Pomelos crossed with true mandarins and the result was a number of different oranges, include the sweet and butter oranges. These then would have crossed back with pomelos so that there were more pomelo genes than true mandarin, resulting in the many grape fruit types we have today. There are thousands and thousands of different citrus because of the loosy-goosy way citrus pollinate each other, and that number is still growing.

Keep in mind there’s a BIG difference between cross breeding plants vs changing/adding the DNA a.k.a. GMO to fruit, vegetables, or anything else. As my father would have said “once you start playing God (changing/adding DNA you’re playing a dangerous game”. I can’t help but wonder what kind of illnesses are caused because of GMO products. I have been fortunate enough to do some traveling into Europe, as well as Asia. I noticed that the food in Asia, particularly Japan, tasted so much better than the food. We have here in America. The most favorite thing I ran across in Japan were the strawberries. They were small and you couldn’t keep them for very long but they tasted so good and so sweet. In Europe, I discovered that the majority of the food there was exceptional. Even eating at a truckstop in France was better than the majority of restaurants in America. How I wish I could travel again. I would just eat my way through France and Italy. Even having a garden in America doesn’t produce the same taste of the fruits and vegetables as well as meet as it did in Europe.💔 *apx @3:40 the red ruby grapefruit came about by using radiation freaks me out!😮 Also how random is it that someone in a Christian writing said to insert a pine plug into the base of an almond tree so that the almonds were no longer toxic!?🤔 Example: many tomato have been genetically modified with spider DNA..!

Horticulture and selective breeding are far from the same thing as man made. 🙄
