Development of GMO’s

This topic fascinates me because it is becoming a very big topic revolving majorly around the food we eat. This seems important to me because I want to know what I’m eating and why certain people choose to be GMO free. I further went to research this by visiting the website nature.com and what they had to say about GMO’s. They described GMO’s as being able to “incorporate new genes from one species into a completely unrelated species through genetic engineering, optimizing agricultural performance”. They went on describing how GMO’s are species that have been artificially genetically altered, which freak out some people and is why they choose to stay away from GMO’s because they want an original unaltered plant, to increase their performance. This information has taught me that GMO’s are a good thing and should be supported by people, not rejected from society, because by using GMO’s we can fully enhance the performance of our crops to benefit everyone.
