GMO food: Not a good thing for any consumer
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements
Chances are some of the food you eat these days has been grown using genetic modification. I've always wondered why apples, strawberries and bananas from regular grocery stores are so large these days. My solution? Buy organic.Anyway, informed Americans are not the only ones concerned about genetic modification in the foods being eaten, as Chinese consumers are not welcoming genetically modified (GMO) food on their table either.
Once you've read about how current foods are "made" using modified genes and with hormones and other nastiness, your appetite would probably plummet. It's great to see citizens of multiple nations recognize that this standard food manufacturing process should not be tolerated in any way.

I think GMO foods should be regulated just like food additives. We are still learning about the way many chemicals interact with the human body; our knowledge of nutrition is nowhere near perfect. So if a crop is genetically modified to, say, be more resistant to bacteria, we don't necessarily know how the new bacteria-resistant substance encoded by those genes is going to interact with the human body.
I think there's a future for it, but it needs much, much more oversight.
