Although they may cost less that foods that are not genetically modified, there are numerous problems with them. GMOs are unhealthy, increase the use of herbicides, and are proven to be harmful by reliable science research. Initially, GMOs are unhealthy. How could something created in a laboratory be healthy for you? It is not. While

This allows big companies who create genetically modified animals or crops, such as Monsanto, to produce more product to sell to consumers. However, questions have been raised all over the world about the short- and long-term safety of using GMO-based products. Some European nations have even gone so far as to ban certain genetically modified
