Some things opponents of GMO foods are concerned about include: the lack of long-term testing of the effects of GMO foods on human health, the process in which GMO foods are approved by the FDA, the process in which genetic modification is done, the possible lack of transparency and honesty of the companies producing the GMOs, long-term environmental harm, harm to biodiversity. anedotal evidence that leads to the concern that GMOs do not deliver on the claims that less chemical pesticides are used over the long-term, possible horizontal gene transfer of the modified genes, and more.
