There may be unanticipated health risks with consuming certain genetically modified foods.

Are Doritos a genetically modified food in Australia?
Doritos themselves are not classified as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Australia; however, some of the ingredients used in Doritos, such as corn, may come from genetically modified crops. In Australia, foods that contain GM ingredients must be labeled accordingly. Therefore, while the chips may include GMO-derived components, Doritos as a product are not inherently genetically modified.
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 does it mean when a food product is genetically modified?
If a food product is genetically modified, it means that it is the product of an organism (such as a plant) which has had its DNA changed. This includes techniques such as inserting a gene into an organism's DNA so that it will have a new trait. For example, some corn crops have had a gene inserted into their DNA which makes them more resistant to herbicides and insect pests. Genetic modification can be seen as 'unnatural' and therefore some people choose not to eat GM foods.
