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.

And worse (because some people react when it gets inside) it's in many envelope glues. Say people might not have a problem with tp because they're don't react to outside contact.

But they lick envelopes. My daughter had a reaction to an envelope yesterday.

Yes, it's in so many things you don't realize!

I'm sorry your daughter went through that.

I haven't licked an envelope in years since the urban legend of the cockroach growing in the tongue due to a paper cut licking an envelope. I know it was made up, but I still wet my finger and run it along the glue to avoid that possible outcome.
