The US has been eating genetically modified foods for the past 12 years. Research on these foods has shown a high probability of allergic reactions and problems with digestion and intestional disorders. The FDA labels these foods,"generally regarded as safe", or GRAS. Europe, many Asian countries, and Japan do not want these foods. Japan is watching our health statistics. As it stands right now, the health of the US is falling at an alarming rate. The people who are living longer did not live on GMO foods. We now have a 12 yr. old generation being raised on these foods. All canola oil, from Canada, is from genetically modified plants. All, high fructose corn syrup, is from genetically modified corn. Mexico is fighting to not have GM corn brought into the country. There has been no increase in crop size and food quality because of GM farming. The only increase has been in profits and the control of the food chain by the giant agra companies. Look up GMO foods on the internet.
