The scientists aim to transfer foreign DNA into a host organism and effects specific changes within that organism. The main intention for developing GMO was to improve crop protection. According to American Radio Works, in 1986 the first field tests of genetically engineered plants which were operated on tobacco fields were practiced in Belgium. In 1987 the United States first held their field tests of genetically engineered crops, which were operated on tobacco and tomatoes (1). The adoption of genetically modified plants and animals has already become prevalent in today’s society without many peoples knowledge. “More than 70% of food prepackaged in a normal grocery store contain genetically modified foods” (1). GMO started to become a problem to the public when Americans got sicker than Europeans and others in industrialized civilizations. GMO swaps genes for new organisms that were not a part of the original process. Genetics that are unfamiliar attacks and creates many side effects. Health effects of primary concern to safety assessors are production of new allergens, new diseases, increased toxicity, decreased nutrition, and antibiotic
