This post is inspired by my husband, who loves to debate. Since this topic goes back and forth in my home, maybe it does in yours as well. I’ll go over what GMOs are, why some people think they are going to feed the world…, why I think they’re wrong, and how the food industry is sneaking them into your food.
First off, lets discuss what Genetically Modified Organism actually means. To put it simply, it is injecting plants and animals with alternate DNA to change its genetic makeup through biotechnology (genetic engineering). Most often, the genetic modifications involve resistance to pesticides and herbicides, growing crops to be larger in size, or making it resistant to typical diseases or issues of a particular crop. Doesn’t sound all bad, does it?
