Don't Know Much About History?

            The World Health Organization defines GMOs as an organism within its DNA material being unnaturally coupled with individual genes and or produced from non-related species.” By conducting these new food bases its main objective is to cut cost by having a higher yield. Also, the increase stainability of the crops immunity towards insects and diseases is achieved by incorporated toxins produced in the crops genetically modified skin called, Bacillus thuringensis. Which is currently used in conventional insecticide used in farming today and is considered safe for consumption by the FDA. But not all see this to be way for the future of agriculture,

These days many commercial companies like Hersey’s and general mills have decided to switch to traditional means of agriculture seeds. Hershey communications director Jeff Beckman confirmed that the kisses and many other products stocked on shelves since Halloween no longer contain beet sugar. The company also is transitioning away from artificial to natural ingredients, he said. 
Biotech companies like Monsanto and Dow have been producing genetically modified agricultural produce since around the nineties and were approved by the FDA for thirteen main crops like corn and cotton for the commercial markets. The FDA and others like Todd Geselius, vice president of agriculture at the Southern Minnesota said “There’s this discernment out there that GM have deprived healthy standards for people and has led to worsening farm environments, when that’s just not what the science says,” Even so, Genetically Modified Organisms still seem to extant a viable and conceivable health distress to the public and feasibly detrimental effects on the surrounding agricultural environment; consequently, they should be put under rigorous regulation, testing, and heavy oversight; to ensure the safety of the public. 
Genetically Modified Organisms have been shown to pose a health risk by being able to cause potential allergic reactions and running the risk of toxically affecting the organs and systems of the human body. For instance,
