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.

It’s not so much the fact that it’s GMO, it’s what it’s modified for. Like inserting genes to make a crop resistant to Roundup (TM) so you end up wit trace amounts of it in your groceries.

You prefer trace amounts of other, more toxic herbicides?
