I’ve seen a lot of comments about GMOs where people are trashing them as being dangerous and inedible.
Yet, if one truly understands, almost every food we eat today has been genetically engineered in the centuries since they were first farmed. Wheat was once nothing more than a wild grass early farmers learned to harvest. How did they learn to dig up and eat root vegetables like carrots and onions. Potatoes. Corn. Tomatoes. All of it far different from the original.
Same with farm animals. The turkey we put on our plates today is totally different from with wild ones. Name a breed and it’s been altered from the original over history.

Summary: While genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are considered safe by an overwhelming majority of scientists, only about one third of consumers share that view. A team of psychologists and biologists set out to discover if consumers' attitudes would change if the public understood the underlying science better. The short answer is 'yes.'
