By 2011 negative toxins in a pregnant women were found and said to have passed to the fetus. GM products have been running the food industry ever since it became the newest way to farm and mass produce crops. Although harming someone’s personal health, environment, and way of living isn’t the answer to creating sustainable foods on a mass level and it must be stopped now. The production of GM materials could be the beginning of a new era of cheap sustainable foods, however it can also be the beginning of an era of fatal, and life threating diseases and illnesses that will not just stop but spread until something is done about the production of GMO goods.
