I try to stay away from geneticlly modified organisms (gmo). I don't trust them.

I agree completely! GMOs have been altered and who knows what the long term effects of these genetically "engineered" products may have?

Yes, when they change the DNA of a living organism it can cause problems. I wonder when GMOs were first created?

The first GMO was a mouse that was created in 1974 and then a plant in the year 1983. Scary to see how far they have evolved since then!

Yes, the tobacco plant was modified to be antibiotic resistant. And now scientists are saying people are antibiotic resistant. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

It does make you wonder! Europe banned the practice of antibiotic use in livestock since 2006.

Yes, I wish they could ban GMOs in the United States, but that would be very difficult now. I wonder if there is any known side effects of eating GMOs?

There are many conspiracy theories such as GMOs involvement with the ZIKA virus and the food at Chipotle.
