It's an old breed which carries a natural, inherited genetic mutation
affecting muscle development. The gene mutation long precedes the
discovery of DNA and was not created in a laboratory.

Virtually every animal or plant we eat (or wear) today, is the result
of centuries of selective breeding.. not the same technique or science
as genetic manipulation of DNA in a laboratory.

That's absurd. Commercial agriculture has been using synthetic
fertilisers far longer.
