Union of concerned Scientists

I read this article on genetically engineered foods. It was mainly facts about the engineering of foods allowed here in america. Most produce, nuts, and grains are free from genetic engineering, and of the allowed engineered foods in grocery store only 2, papya and canola, are found in grocery stores. But years ago they made the first genetically modified corn, soy beans and cotton, which they immediately planted thousands of acres at a time. Because these 3 plants are used in processing food, most of the processed foods you buy will contain genetically modified products. The organisms in these foods will likely cause health problems for people. This site is trying to convince you of this, and gain your assistence in stopping this issue.

I agee fully this is a problem, and the more genetically engineered foods there are, the worse it will be for our world. It's unnatural and needlessly harmful. They even say that genetically engineered fish could possibly run wild spieces out of existence. I kind of like the world the way it is, and i wish large corporations who endorse this sort of thing felt the same.

I agree. People have survived for thousands of years on no gm foods. I am completely willing to pay a little more for safe, no gm foods.
