If you eat processed foods, you are assured of eating at least some foods that contain GMOs. Some people have stopped eating processed foods because of that. Regardless of personal choice, though, even foods labeled 100% organic may contain small amounts of GMOs due to cross contamination of organically grown crops during growth, so it may not be a choice of whether to eat GMO foods, but how to reduce the amount of GMOs you are possibly eating.
To answer your question directly, I no longer eat corn, soy, canola, or foods that can be identified as containing any ingredients made from them. So, given the choice I would not eat foods made from GMO crops.

What are genetically modified GM organisms and GM foods?
Genetically modified(GM)organisms are those organisms whose DNA, or genetic material has been altered through modern biotechnology whereas GM foods are those from genetically engineered crops.
Are foods made from genetically modified crops required to pass human testing?
The FDA classified genetically modified foods as "substantially equivalent" to non-GMO foods. They do not have to pass human testing prior to being produced and sold to consumers or at any other time.
What is genetic modified foods?
Genetically modified food can also be achieved by altering their DNA (or genes) by genetic engineering techniques. This usually involves inserting a gene into the organisms' DNA to create a certain trait. For example, some corn crops have been genetically modified so that they become more resistant to herbicides and insect pests. In most countries Genetically Modified foods (GM) as well as foods containing GM source foods have to be labelled by law, giving consumers the choice to use them or not. Agriculturally speaking the opposite of GM foods are "Organic" crops.
Downsides of genetically modified carrots?
Genetically modified foods are generally modified to accept/work with pesticides better. Monsanto makes a product called Round-Up and genetically modified foods are sometimes called Round-Up Ready crops. The downside to granting any company a monopoly over any foodstuff could be very serious. If you fail to buy the required pesticide product, you simply don't get to have as much food. And once these GM crops are in the fields, cross-contamination with other crops is unavoidable.

What are the current benefits of having foods made from genetically modified crops?
huge amounts of food can be made this way therefore they are cheaper
Can genetically modified foods go bad?
Genetically modified foods will go bad. The only thing that is different is the size and nutritional value of it.
Why is 'non-genetically modified whole soybeans' preferred as an ingredient for a food product?
In general, non-genetically modified foods of any type (including whole soybeans) are preferred to the their genetically modified counterparts because the long-term health effects of consuming genetically modified foods have not been properly documented yet. There may be unanticipated health risks with consuming certain genetically modified foods.
What is meant by G.M. foods?

Do genetically modified crops increase food yields and cost less?
