What's the deal with GMOs? This acronym has been flying around the  food
 world recently, and many of us don't even know exactly what it is.  GMO
 stands for genetically modified organisms. These are plants and  
animals that have had their DNA modified in a lab. GMOs have been  
created for many reasons, including longer shelf life, as well as  
resistance to weed killers and insects. Although these may sound like  
benefits, we don't know how the genetic modifications are affecting  
public health. The changing of DNA may allow for nutrients to be removed
  from a product that are important for our health.
