GMO Answers

My husband recently met with an old friend to chew over what has been going on in each others lives over the last several months; as work schedules, family matters, and life in general often makes it so they don’t see each other for long stretches of time. Strangely enough, one of the things they discussed over a breakfast of bacon and eggs was GMO foods. My hubby’s friend wanted to know what all the uproar was really about over genetically modified organisms and admitted that he really knew nothing about the subject. My husband is no expert on the subject himself, but having worked in and around the ag industry for nearly a decade has given him a little more insight than the average consumer, so he tried to answer his friend’s questions as best he could. Thankfully there is somewhere consumers can go to get answers from honest to goodness experts about GMO foods. The Council for Biotechnology Information, along with its supporting partners, has 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. So if you want answers to questions about biotechnology in food and agriculture, go to gmoanswers.com.
