Are GMOs Good or Bad? Genetic Engineering & Our Food

There’s so much more to it than this, too. AGH. 

I see however one of the issues with GMOs in that certain companies possess a patent over them and use them to gain an unfair market advantage, nearly a monopoly. So I get not wanting to support that, but fear of GMOs is simply just misunderstanding what they are.

If you eat packaged and non-organic foods chances are you're consuming GMO (genetically modified organisms) products. Read this article on why GMOs are dangerous.

Cyrus Sutton has spent the past several months working on his film, exposing the lives of people effected directly by Monsanto and other chemical/GMO companies who are threatening our right to organic and natural foods. The Hawaiian Islands have been the testing grounds for harshly sprayed guinea pig crops, which have taken over thousands of acres of the islands and the chemical runoff has tainted local water and killed reefs. So thankful people like Cyrus and local organic farmers are doing what they can to bring light to the situation and ultimately regain the rights of food production to the people. Please spread the word and donate anything you can to his Kickstarter which will help fund the production of a full length documentary - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyrussutton/island-earth-documentary
