We’ve been eating them for decades with no ill effects, which makes sense, because a genetically modified organism is simply an organism, like every other organism, produces hundreds of thousands of proteins, but one or two of them are proteins that were chosen specifically by humans.

Congressional Delegation: Crash Course Government and Politics
In which Craig Benzine teaches you about delegation, and informal powers. What are all these federal agencies about?

Although you hear an occasional complaint about bureaucracies and…
