What are Genetically Modified Organisms or GMO Foods?
Scientists have been and are currently introducing genetic material into organisms to alter, create and affect changes in living plants and animals. These radical changes scientists are developing create specific, desirable traits that might never evolve naturally and in my opinion are extremely dangerous. Collectively called recombinant DNA technology, this practice changes the core genetic make-up of organisms. This genetic manipulation gives scientists the ability to create any trait that they wish, or suppress natural traits they don’t want. There are several reasons this unnatural genetic manipulation may affect you. • It’s usually not clear which consumables have been genetically manipulated. • You don’t know the long term health effects of these genetically modified foods. Initial research has shown that short-term reactions can be severe. • Agro-chemical companies and the government are planning to charge farmers fees to grow their GMO crops, thereby negatively affecting the ec
