People prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered because the long term effects of eating genetically engineered plants is unknown.

Some people prefer non-genetically engineered foods due to concerns about potential health risks, environmental impacts, or ethical considerations associated with genetic engineering. Others may prefer the taste or nutritional qualities of foods that are not genetically modified.
the answer to this pie
Any food can be genetically modified through genetic engineering. Three foods that have been genetically engineered are corn, soy, and canola.
Some countries have not allowed genetic engineering on their exported goods, so depending on where you get it, it wont be engineered. Some people think engineering could be harmful, and some foods cannot sucessfully be 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.
No benefits of eating GMO foods are known.
Potatoes! They used to be poisonuous before it was gentically engineered. Califlower, brocoli both came from marshland flower
Three foods that have been genetically engineered are corn, soy, and canola. It is possible that some fruits and vegetables have been genetically engineered using a slightly different method than ones we hear about.
They thought it will cause birth defects
Two examples of genetically engineered foods are: Herbicide resistant varieties that can have a herbicide sprayed on it and not die. Bt varietes that produce an insecticide in the plant itself.
In the United States, no. In fact, companies become actively involved in defeating attempts to label GMO foods by states.
