Answering the Tough Questions About GMO Foods

Answering the Tough Questions About GMO Foods

Quite a while back my husband had the opportunity to help enlighten a friend about GMO foods. His friend wanted to know what all the uproar was about over genetically modified organisms, admitting that he really knew nothing about the subject. My husband is not an expert, but he has worked in and around the ag industry for nearly a decade, which has given him a little more insight than the average consumer. So he answered his friend’s questions as best he could. Thankfully for the past year there has been a place consumers can go to get answers from honest to goodness experts about GMO foods. The Council for Biotechnology Information, along with its supporting partners, funded the GMO Answers initiative and created a website where consumers can ask the tough questions about GMOs and get honest, informative, and easy to understand answers. Since its inception roughly has a year ago GMO Answers has helped give consumers the information about biotechnology in food and agriculture they’re seeking. In doing so GMO Answers has also been able to dispel a lot of the fears, concerns, and downright falsehoods about gmo foods.
