GMO's

1. Genetically modified foods (or GM foods) arefoods produced from organisms that have had specific changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering. There a two main types of genetically modified crops. 

Bt, or bacillus thuringiensis, is a type of soil-dwelling bacteria that produces a protein toxic to many insects. Bt crops are engineered to produce the Bt toxin within the plant itself, acting as a built-in insecticide. Bt toxin kills crop pests by dissolving the insect’s gut lining.
Roundup Ready crops are engineered to be resistant to Roundup, a Monsanto brand of herbicide. The active ingredient in Roundup herbicide is glyphosate, a commonly used weed-killer.

I know very little about this topic. I'm Interested to hear what ya'll know or think about GMO foods.

The idea of being forced to eat GM food is obscene. Well, some folks think that population reduction is the only answer. I don't agree with that though. I do agree though that we may have too many people now.

I have heard that Bill Gates believes in population reduction. Personally I don't regard him as a man with integrity.

I dont believe anyone should be forced to eat anything they dont agree with. Labelling laws need to be tightened to show whether products contain GM. 

At the moment all of the idealistic, pretty young things who are eating Vegan burgers at McDonalds are eating Genetically modified plant material and I bet none of them know it.
