Why do some people prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered?

People have genetically modified foods to make them more insect-repellant, to give higher crop yields, to give products with more appealing qualities (flavour, texture, shelf life); this provides benefits for both producer and consumer. Some crop have been modified to be resistant to certain brands of herbicides, so that the plants are not affected when the farmer sprays the area for weeds (see the Monsanto website). Other modifications take the form of plants that are modified to be resistant to saline soils, or drought conditions. These benefits can increase the yields of crops in poorer or arid parts of the world which are normally susceptible to food shortages.
