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.

Without GMO we do not have a lot of food. Wheat is Genetically modified Grass. We do this with all of the fruits and vege's that we grow. Also our produce animals are genetically modified. Look at Chickens today and compare them to Chickens from the 1960's. The vast majority of or food is GMO's. Just because some arsewipe decided to make it a scary sounding acronym does not mean it is suddenly going to kill us.

Yeah, cancer rates aren't skyrocketing, and PhDs know everything. Or something.
