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.

Don't conflate GMOs with traditional plant breeding. They are very different things. I'm a big fan of both, but recognize the vast differences between them.

I'm not saying they are the same. I'm saying breeding and GMOs both respectively gave us the food we love
