:. GMOs *

I am a student at the University of Central Arkansas. I am interested in the ongoing topic of GMOs. The abbreviation "GMO" means genetically modified organism. GMOs are and have been an issue for some time now. Around six years Americans have been consuming GMOs. GMOs are very controversial because of the fear of the unknown side affects they might have on people. Many articles I have researched contain the good and bad about GMOs. The good include benefits such as making crops have longer fresh taste and easier shipping by the crops lasting longer. Some of the bad are things that are badly affecting Americans such as obesity because the FDA did not tell us about some of these GMOs being put into our food (http://www.relfe.com/GMOs.html). How does someone not need to know about what one eats? I think everyone deserves the right to know if GMOs are in their food because they could possibly be the source of obesity or diabetes. GMOs were also proven to reduce the life span of some animals, and increase allergies of some humans (http://www.relfe.com/GMOs.html) I want to know about others opinions on this matter! Please comment.
