GMO stands for genetically modified organism, scientists have been able to change the genetic code of plants and certain animals. by doing so they are able to get certain traits to show in the specimen that could not normally be ascertained through crossbreeding or through natural means. GMO's are created through a process called gene splicing, which is defined as the process in which fragments of DNA from one or more different organisms are combined to form recombinant DNA.

Now some people say that GMO's are horrible and should be discontinued, particularly with foods. they say that these modifications are unhealthy for people. but my opinion is a little different, because to be completely honest i really don't care. now if there were studies that showed that GMO's were poisoning me i would care. but other wise Im sure that we have enough health safety regulations to make sure that killer corn doesn't find its way into my grocery store
