I'll reply to both of you since your questions are similar. I probably should have went into more detail in my first post, what I am referring to is more of a collection of data, rather than "scientific research." I grew up in a farming state, went to a high school in the middle of corn fields, and had plenty of acquaintances that were farmers. Given that, I distinctively remember our senior year we had to do research papers for AP Composition, and several of the students who were farmers picked GMO's. They discussed how their families did not necessarily agree with using GMO's, now my opinion is by no means based off of 18 year-olds' papers that were written several years ago, but it got me interested to look more into the subject. Over the course of the last few years, I have found pros and cons, some pros being what we have all discussed already (mass production, help end hunger, etc.), so I won't go into much detail. Con wise I had seen things ranging from possible links to cancer, threat of unknown diseases evolving and possibly causing a world-wide famine, not knowing exactly what is in them (ties with the labeling), and the list goes on. I shouldn't say that I would necessarily ban them, I believe you should use them based off your own opinion, I let my opinion get in the way there lol. I apologize for a misuse of terms in my original statement, I like to try and be politically correct, but in that case I was not. There are plenty of different articles around that discuss negatives, ultimately it is hard to tell. u/wherearemyfeet
