GMO stands for genetically modified organisms. Most foods in supermarkets are genetically modified through a process of adding chemicals in a laboratory to make crops resistant to pesticides. While this increases crop yields, it means consumers ingest these chemicals through GMO foods. Testing of GMOs is not required or comprehensive, and corporate interests prioritize profits over consumer health concerns. Potential health risks of GMOs include allergic reactions, diseases, cancer and other issues. While GMO production continues, people are increasingly informed and working to promote non-GMO and organic alternatives to support their wellbeing.
