GMO foods are basically the same as non-GMO foods except that they contain ingredients that have been genetically engineered. Basically, that is the process of removing a gene from one species (often a bacteria) and inserting it into another species (often corn or soy). The technology is relatively young and the effects of eating GMO foods has not been determined.
GMOs (genetically modified food) may create allergies.
There is no evidence that GMOs have improved food production.
There is no known information that indicates GMOs are easier to grown than non-GMOs.
Israel is not against genetically modified food, but most Israeli food comes from Europe. Therefore, GMOs are rare in Israel.
Regulation of food began as early as the 1800s and food labeling regulation arose out of that. Recently, requiring GMOs to be labeled has been a major debate, mostly between consumers and companies who produce GMOs, food companies, and grocers. To this date, GMO ingredients are not required to be listed on food labels.
Organic and GM food is not exactly opposite, but foods that are grown and sold as "100% organic" cannot intentionally contain GMOs. It is possible, though, that cross pollination of GMOs with organic crops of the same kind could happen unintentionally.
Yes, the public should know if the food they buy contain GMOs.
People buy organic food because they do not want GMOs, artificial preservatives and additives, pesticides, and other harmful substances in their food.
This method is called genetic modified organisms. (GMOs).
Non-organic food is not necessarily bad for you, though it can contain GMOs, preservatives, artificial food colorings, and other additives that are bad for you.
We can only guess at what their motives are, but considering that it is estimated that 70% of the processed foods in grocery stores contain GMOs and the reaction that Europe had to GMO foods, it is reasonable to believe that they oppose labeling because they fear that labeling GMOs would severely hurt their sales.
Keeping up with the demand of McDonalds and other fast food restaurants are half the reason we have GMOs. McDonalds uses corn in chicken nuggets and mc chickens and that is GMO it also cooks in soy or canola oil, both of which are GMO
