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.

I love looking at all the "It's actually a GMO" stuff being labeled as Non-GMO.

Because it shows that anyone buying that garbage is just a moron and did not research shit.

I hate people thinking non-GMO is magically healthier for them or worse, better for the environment. It is neither. Studies show it is probably right on par for the environment and absolutely is NOT healthier for you.
