Some claim that GMO food is produced in order to feed the world, and that food can be modified to make it more nutritious, or improve it in other ways.
While others do not necessarily question the claim that using genetic modification to improve food is possible, they look at most genetic modifications being used to create crops that are either resistant to herbicides or to produce a substance that kills insects when the plant is eaten, and believe that it is produced in order to profit the companies that produce them, Still others believe GMO foods are produced as part of a dark agenda.
