Who discovered genetically modified organisms and when?

No one discovered genetically modified organisms. Such organisms are created by people working in laboratories. In 1953 it was discovered that DNA is the material that carries genes, the information that defines and structures each organism. For the next 50 years people worked to understand DNA and eventually learned how to modify it, in some circumstances. When such a modification is successful, the result is an organism that has been genetically modified - a genetically modified organism.

How closely are GMOs regulated?

There are people who will say GMO foods are closely regulated, but the FDA has declared them to be "substantially equivalent" to their non GMO equivalents. They have a voluntary consultation process for the developing company to consult with them before new GMO varieties are approved, which is not actually regulating them at all. The approval process for genetically modified animals appears to be much tighter.

You probably can't buy a Petunia that hasn't been genetically modified sometime along the way. So is it a 'real' Petunia or not? If it looks like a chicken and clucks like a chicken and walks like a chicken and tastes like a chicken; it's a chicken.
