These are foods everyone buys with the plan of consuming on a regular basis, including GMO activists who swear it is harmful and unneeded. Yet, their biggest fight is against the genetic modifications and all they need to realize this isn’t worthy of a debate, is a basic understanding of life. All foods and animals that we eat have been cultivated and changed throughout history and the words of evolution and artificial selection usually describe this process. The words ‘Genetically Modified’ seem to put others on edge but it is simply artificial selection but in a lab. Instead of waiting for daily occurrences, such as wind, to change the track of a growing organism, we test and successfully create the changes that would normally occur within a long period of
