Explanation:
The reason those tomatoes in your grocery cart are so plump and those apples are so golden is due in part to biotechnology. But while science has improved certain qualities of the foods we eat, some experts are concerned about the possible health risks in these ‘new and improved’ foods. Should you be worried?

The reason
I wonder why that is.
Sunshiner424 as you said in an earlier post you don't know much about this topic on GMOs, you need to go do some research before spouting nonsense.
There have been no long term tests on how these gmos will affect our health , the environment , and the gene pool of these plants. Short term tests done by a few scientists on lab rats given gmos to eat showed a decreased immune system and some even developed legions in their stomachs. Of course the scientists were discredited by the big seed and chemical/fertilazer companies, Montanso seeds being the biggest.
"As for everyone who is still scared of them, just don't eat them." This comment just goes to show how ill informed you are on the subject. GMO's are not required to be labeled on food products and as such are not labeled. This is a major reason for concern. This means if there is a health problem caused by the gmos in the food there is no trace ability because again its no labeled and not required to.
I suggest you watch a movie on hulu called the future of foods and become more informed on the subject. I never understand why people find the need to try and discuss something before doing any research on the subject matter.
