A GMO is a genetically modified organism. Reasons for using them depends on who is asked. Some say they are necessary to improve foods. An example is Golden Rice that is genetically modified to produce Vitamin A. Others say they are not necessary and may be dangerous. Examples of these are herbicide resistant and Bt varieties. Herbicide resistant are plants that are engineered to resist a herbicide so it can be sprayed directly on the crop. Bt varieties are engineered to produce an insecticide in the plant itself. Corn and soybeans are examples of crops that have been modified to be resistant to herbicides and/or to produce an insecticide.

Are GMOs healthy for you?

Some claim science shows GMO foods are just as healthy as non-GMO foods. The FDA has declared GMO foods to be substantially equivalent to non-GMO foods. Anecdotal evidence suggests GMO foods have health issues that are unique to them. It is likely that the answer to whether GMOs are healthy is actually "We really do not know."

How can you tell if your corn is GMO?

If you are a farmer, you know the corn you are gowing is GMO because you buy seeds that are known to be GMO. If you are gowing non-GMO varieties, you do not know if GMO vaieties have cross pollinated with your corn unless you get it tested. If you are a consumer, you do not know if the corn or processed foods containing corn is GMO unless it is labeled as such. In the United States GMO foods are not labeled.
