What is a GMO?

GMO Education - What is a GMO? - responsibletechnology.org

Excerpt from this article:

"A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. The foreign genes may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans. Because this involves the transfer of genes, GMOs are also known as 'transgenic' organisms.
This process may be called either Genetic Engineering (GE) or Genetic Modification (GM); they are one and the same. Read more."

Excerpt from this article:

"The biggest problem with genetically modified organisms or genetically engineered foods is that we don’t know the long-term outcome....There’s something that seen kinda sneaky about people manufacturing food and researching it and engineering it and marketing to us and for some reason or other they don’t want to tell us what’s in it? I find that odd. I know that if you buy, you know, a shirt or a pair of pants, it has to say that it’s 90% cotton and 10% lycra. So I wanna know what’s in my food if I know what in my pants."

Excerpt from this article:


"If you scare people that conventional food is dangerous, risky, or poisonous, then they’ll come flocking to your products....There has never been a scientific study showing a detrimental effect on humans or the environment by genetically engineered plants. Not a single one."
