Rarely do you hear about GMO’s because they are not often mentioned in society. The term “GMO” is an abbreviation for Genetically Modified Organisms which are products that have had specific changes introduced in their DNA using methods of genetic engineering. In other words, they are when organism’s genes are different then where they came from. For example, When a fruit somehow survives a drought or an apple grows a different color. To create a genetically modified organism you must inject the chemicals into an organism to alter its DNA to obtain some characteristic. GMO’s come with some health risks because they are not natural and they contain artificial chemicals and flavoring I think should not be consumed.
