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.
