GM food is genetically modified to have more advantageous properties. This means bigger crops, better resistance to pests and deseases. The are not many disadvantages as far as I know, but they are a touchy subject with the general public for some reason.

What are the avantages and disadvantages of gm food?
Genetically modified(gm) food is advantageous because the crops can be made to produce their own pesticides, grow larger amounts of food product per acre, or otherwise be advanced. On the downside, the modifications that have been spliced into the genes rarely stay for more than a single generation. Farmers can not save seed for the next year and must pay the owner of the genetic pattern for every crop's seeds. An additional point against gm food lies in fears, often considered unfounded due to FDA regulations, that declare gm food to affect people differently because of the unnatural alterations.

Disadvantages of GM Organisms to HealthShort and long term disadvantages of GM organisms to human health are not yet known. The very nature of GM crops could be a key to the extent of disadvantages to human health that are seen in the future. One type of GM corn produces what is called BT Toxin, which is a pesticide. Since the toxin is produced by the plant itself, it is probably safe to assume that the toxin is still present when the corn is eaten, making it harmful to the health of the consumer. In the United States, no labeling is required for foods that contain GMOs and at least one study of consumption of GMO foods by rodents resulted in organ failure and death.
