GMO's = Genetically Modified Organisms. Which means that in a organism the natural genetic make up is altered in a way that is not natural for the organism using genetic engineering. In the GMO's the alteration are occurred for some noble purposes like the desired product from the organism is increased or the survivability strain is increased. The GMO's goes with plant and animals also. Like the GMO eggplant which is resistant to a specific insect.

GMOs are transgenic organisms. A gene is taken from one species and forced into another, which is what creates a transgenic organism.
Does Obama and his family eat the GMOs that he's made legal?
To be fair, it was not Obama that made GMOs legal. President George W. Bush (and possibly presidents before him) was very supportive of GMOs and the FDA has responsibility of approving them. As for whether Obama and his family eat GMO foods, no one knows.
Why is the food and agriculture industry largely posed to labeling GMOs cloned foods?
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.
What percent of GMOs do we eat every day?
It may be as much as 100%.
