GMO crops are also responsible for the emergence of “super weeds” and “super bugs:’ which can only be killed with ever more toxic poisons like 2,4-D (a major ingredient in Agent Orange).

GMO's should be banned because studies have shown that animals who have been GMOed have organ damage, gastrointestinal and immune system disorders, accelerated aging and infertility. Studies done on humans show that GM foods leave materials behind inside of us and possibly cause long-term problems.

in the U.S., GMOs are in as much as 80% of conventional processed food which are not good for you and make you fat and thats why people are much fatter today than years ago

Some of the chemicals they are using are new and haven't been tested so we don't know how they affect us. The things they're using to "protect" us from things could be creating new problems.

GMOs do not increase yield and work against feeding a hungry world. Whereas sustainable non-GMO agricultural methods used in developing countries have resulted in yield increases of 79% and higher, GMOs do not increase yields at all.

Plants and animals weren't meant to be genetically altered no matter the circumstance, and I think this is a reason that we shouldn't GMO our food

I think that is should be banned because it taste better organic and fresh.

GMO's are terrible for nature. i support the ban of GMO's because they harm animals, harm the environment and eventually people. The government only cares about money and profit not their people.

I also think it should be banned because most of the animals in this case chickens are too fat to even stand up.

I think GMOs are a bad idea because first, we're messing with the natural environment, and second, we're messing up our own immune systems because we're becoming resistant to the antibiotics they use in our foods.

They should be banned because corporations are adding unnatural things that can be harmful to humans and animals, and they cause resistance to antibiotics, creating super diseases.

I think the use of GMOs should be banned because despite the fact that, yes it creates more food faster and easier, but it GMOs hurt people more then they help. Animals that are fed antibiotics to make them grow faster, are going to effect people eventually by making them non resistant to a certain sickness that could eventually kill people. Plants that have been genetically modified are going to hurt people and animals that it is fed to.

The use of GMOs should definitely be banned. Genetic engineering is the process of transferring genes from one plant or animal to another. GMOd foods have never been properly tested so no one knows if genetically engineered foods are safe to eat!

Yes, they should be banned! Sure they do provide a lot of food for the growing population. But at what cost? I think that GMOs are ok to a certain extent, such as to provide for countries who have people dying of starvation, because if they are starving to death it doesn't really matter what kind of food they eat. But as for the rest of the world, it should be banned. They are unsafe. In my opinion, there is a reason why God made things the way he did, and we shouldn't be pushing the limits by trying to alter foods in drastic ways and trying to feed them to people when it could result in major health problems.

Another good reason that we should stop GMOing foods in because numerous health problem increased after GMOs were introduced in 1996. Also GM seeds and plant can cross pollinate making new hybrids and this causes us to lose the original way the plant was.

Also it should be banned because the animals carry disease because of enclosed cages and their manure gets into the food and then they get sick and then we eat it and then we get sick! For example like that kid that died from ecoli in the movie we watched in class (food inc.), just from eating a hamburger.

GMO food may be helping the economy and the lower class of people in the present, but they are damaging us for the future through antibiotic resistance, transferring diseases from infected animals to humans, and our consuming of genetically altered animals that could cause health problems for us.

Some of the chemicals they are using are new and haven't been tested so we don't know how they affect us. The things they're using to "protect" us from things could be creating new problems.

GMOs need to be banned!!! Artificial hormones have been added to cows and other livestock to make them grow faster and produce more milk. The United States government claims that the hormones are safe but the European Union has banned the use of these hormones due to a possible link between the hormones and some types of cancers! WHY would we eat something that could possibly give us cancer?!

Also Government oversight is really crappy, that means that these companies can do whatever they want with these animals/plants and have nothing done for the way they do it. An example of this would be The FDA doesn't require a single safety study to be done, doesn't require GMO labeling, and allows companies to put their food on the market without having to notify the agency.

When you grow GMOed food it can harm insects, birds, other animals that eat them, and it can also harm the soil they are grown in. For example GM crops have been eliminating the monarch butterflies habitat. The pesticides that are put on crops are causing amphibians to be born with birth defects and is causing organ damage in animals even in very low doses.

Food items that contain GMOs are unlabeled in America because if more people knew what their food has in it and what it has been though before even going into the store the producers will lose money and they care more about their money than the humans health all over the world

if we resorted just to natural farming and agricultural techniques the world would be fed. its just the fact that distribution of food is uneven. gmos are terrible the long term effects are hurtful and cause disease

Also GMOs are the reason that organic food is so expensive, because once they load up this meat with a bunch of untested crap they sell it cheap and then people don't want to buy the organic $6 yogurt compared to the GMOed $2 yogurt.

Genetically modified crops do not always ensure a larger harvest. GMO crop yields are not as promising as they are made out to be. In fact, GMO crops have been out yielded by their non-GMO counter crops in some instances. This conclusion was reached in a 20 year long study by the University of Wisconsin that was funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This clearly negates one of the main arguments in favor of GMOs in that GMOs are better than non-GMOd crops.

Let us talk about corn.

In genetically engineered corn,the amount of formaldehyde(look it up) and glyphosate(used as herbicide) is apparently unbelievable. The American EPA standards allow glyphosate in water of up to .7ppm. Tests indicate that animals begin experiencing liver damage at .0001 ppm of glyphosate in water. Need I say more?
