GMO

GMO is short for Genetically Modified Organisms, this is when scientists takes the genes or DNA of a living organism and altering it and putting it in to another living organism it is also like cross-breeding. This is a controversial issue because we don`t know the affects when we consume the food, the modified food can be unsafe. On the other hand GMO`s can help food grow and the food can withstand any season. There have been over 81 GM foods that have been approved in Canada for including: canola, corn, potatoes, and more.
