This is the most dramatic change to our food supply that started no more than 20 years back in the late 90’s. This relatively new science creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. Basically, GMOs are plants and animals that have been genetically altered through their DNA to make them resistant to diseases or pesticides, which are sprayed on crops to kill bugs. This means there are potentially tons of chemicals and hormones in your food that could harm your body.
While most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safe and have significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs, it’s shocking to see that the U.S. and Canadian governments have approved GMOs based on studies conducted by the same corporations that created them and profit from their sale.
