Common Knowledge

As I have stated in the past, Genetically modified organisms are “plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals. These experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding” (Non-GMO Project). Although the abundance of genetically modified organisms is increasing in the modern world, the idea has received a lot of controversy for it’s unnatural attempt to “better” the food industry. For over the past decade, the ongoing argument over the dangers of genetically modified organisms has remained a significant global dispute. Although many argue that genetically modified organisms have more advantages than disadvantages, the vast majority of people protest against this claim.

However, after reading Environmental Commons article, "What You Should Know About Genetically Modified Foods!", I have found that my definition and understanding of GMOs has been slightly altered. Therefore, I highly recommended, to all those who want a straightforward insight into the "what, why, and how" of GMOs, that you read up on this article (link mentioned below).
