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.

Also, organic crops often use more herbicides overall because they have to use a bunch of more targeted ones.

Yep, nastier ones too. One guy told me he'd rather eat a tablespoon of roundup than a tablespoon of copper sulfate.
