NATURAL? DON'T THINK SO...

There has been a lot of talk about GMOs and mass production lately.
Actually if genetic change by humans is a serious subject we should also consider that over many generations our crops and farm animals have been selected by us humans for more nutrients or less diseases.
Today the new technology of CRISP lets you modify a gene in a much shorter amount of time.
But it has some problems like gene exchange between wild and tamed salmon in salmon farms.
People think that GMOs will make you sick, but that isn't necessarily true.Organic tomatoes for instance have been genetically modified to have more nutrients.We still have a little love of nature, that may be why its more probable that you buy something with the word "natural" or "organic" in it.

  1. The problem is that we don`t know the effects of those modifications in the ecosystem and our health.. isn't it?
