GMOs

A genetically modified organism is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. It allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another, also between non-related species. GMOs are currently in 80% of processed foods. Monsanto is a company who encourages the use of GMOs, in fact they create them. Monsanto's goal is to "improve agriculture".

I believe that GMOs are very unhealthy because they can increase allergies and even in some cases autism. This method should be stopped because GMOs harm the environment. There are times when they feed genetically engineered food to farm animals to help them grow. The reason they do this is because they want to have a bigger animal so that it can feed more people. It's sad because the poor little animals cant's even stand on their own feet because they have a lot of meat but small bones. In my opinion GMOs should be stopped.
