See all living things have dna and proteins that build the very essence life ,and all DNA consists of the same four building blocks, known as nucleotides. By taking one piece of DNA from one organism and placing it into another, scientists are not introducing a "foreign" substance. The new gene merely prompts the modified organism to express a desired trait. This remains true whether the manipulation is done in a lab or through selective breeding both of which are done to improve the quality and quantity of the crop with greater benefit to the consumer and farmer in mind. Companies that wish to release a GM seed or the product of a GM crop are required to test the safety of that product. If the product is made from an organism containing a known allergen, it must be tested for safety. No one has substantiated a single human death, or even illness, as a result of consuming GM foods. The evidence for this has existed for decades worth a laundry list of produce goods from corn,apples,cotton,and the potato all being successfully grown and consumed as gmos for years with approval of the FDA. “Roseboro, Ken. “What Is Non-GMO?

Insect-resistant crops allow for cheaper production costs that are passed onto the consumer and ultimately the consume allowing for lowered prices on more stability. the other hand, the insects that GM crops are designed to kill could develop resistance to those crops, ultimately requiring farmers to use more aggressive control measures, such as increased use of chemical
