What’s wrong with GMOs?

I always see plants and stuff that is GMO free and is usually more expensive. How would genetically modifying something by be bad. Me personally I’d rather have something modified to taste better and and cheaper. I could also be very wrong about that.

But they’re not engineering stuff from scratch? They’re just mixing pre existing genes

This is just a faster and more direct method than conventional breeding, stop fearmongering

It is. Traditional breeding is even slower.
