At the frontier on this movement lies Genetically modified foods (GMO Foods.) A failed attempt to solve the problem of world hunger. A failure that leaves the world with contaminated non-GMO crops, health disorders, & more hunger. The world starves while large biotech companies sit on their huge bags of cash. Genetically Modified foods have been used to theoretically conserve water, soil, and energy while producing greater yields. There is evidence to suggest that GMO foods do not always yield more and don’t solve world hunger. Consumers need to stop buying GMO foods because they cause disorders, cross pollinate non-GMO crops, and pollute the environment. GMO foods have been linked to many diseases & abnormalities including organ damage, immune system disorder, accelerated aging, & infertilities.

Not only is our future damaged, but so are the farmers that grow non-GMO crops near GMO fields. These non-GMO farmers “have lost billions in markets because of contaminated food exports” (Henningfeld). This cross-pollination of seeds from GMO crops damages conventional farmers’ non-GMO yields. GMO crops don’t just limit the number of conventional crops, but they also damage the
