If the fact that genetically modified organisms - in reality a frankenstein experiment - are in your food does not alarm you, the fact that it is in your food chain should.

Many people see GMO as a consumer choice - generally and more specifically GM crops - but this is far too much of a simplification. Genetically modified organisms of any variety will invariably enter the food chain, and as you may often hear, "You are what you eat".

In reality it is impossible to know whether you are consuming GM foods either directly or via a food chain process (pig fed on GM fodder, you eat the bacon).

In a similar vein to so many other new technologies this has not been approached with the caution and respect that nature deserves and this is vastly more serious. Most people switch off before even considering the issue because even the word genetic or genes is beyond many people but it is important and worth educating yourself about. There are indications of direct causal links between GM organisms and immune system disorders including allergies and also with decreased fertility which is often directly linked with the immune system response to growing embryos.
