GMO Genetically Modified Organisms are Crazy

GMO Genetically Modified Organisms are Crazy Tshirts and more.

Stick figure making crazy motions - GM Foods are insane! Ban GMO - Genetic engineering is the alteration of genetic code by artificial means, and is therefore different from traditional selective breeding.

Monsanto Mission Statement - No food will be grown that we do not own.

In effect, the term Genetically Modified refers to the plants or animals created through the gene splicing techniques of biotechnology. In conversation, GMO's and GE foods refer to the same thing. They are foods created by merging DNA from different species.

GMO crops were introduced as a remedy to world hunger. The argument being that developing pesticide and herbicide resistant crops, farmers would be able to increase their crop yields and decrease their costs. However quite the opposite has occured. Bugs and weeds have become increasingly resistant to the widespread applications of these chemicals, leading to increased use of both. More spraying means more costs for the farmers, more damage to the environment and more health concerns.

Oops!

The safety of GMO foods has not been sufficiently proved. In fact a growing body of research and anecdotal evidence submitted by farmers connects these GM foods with health concerns and environmental damage.
