These next paragraphs are based on an interview I heard with Jeffrey Smith. Jeffrey attended a seminar many years ago where the speaker explained what GMOs were and how they were made.

How a GMO is made is scientists remove a desired gene, or combination of desired genes, out of a specimen and multiply the genes they want.

They clone those plant cells into plants, and now every single cell of the cloned plants has the new desired gene or new gene combination.
