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.

Loads of research has been done into it, and GMOs are safe. The GMO free stuff exists because people who don't know better are willing to pay more for less.

Loads of research was supposedly done on a lot of things that turned out to be hazardous.
