Source says that gene splicing may even rid certain foods of their ability to trigger an allergy in humans.

Products that do not comply to this standard are labelled on food products as follows: Products labelled "Made with Organic____"  have 70% of their ingredients as organic. Products like these cannot have the word "organic" anywhere on their display panel/ product front packaging. Exemptions to this rule are companies and sellers that sell no more than a profit of $5000 for each fiscal year; they can add "organic" to their packaging, but they cannot use the round green usda seal of approval

PESTICIDES- companies selliing GMO's said that use of their seeds will lead to less pesticide use by only needing one herbicide- RoundUp. However, te solitary use of RoundUp cause weeds to develop a resistance and causes farmers to use even MORE pesticides than before. This can be harmful to the ecosystem as the run-off from these chemicals harm our bodies of water.]]> 2016-11-07 14:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mayerginny2009/ai7fanxjnmba/wish/135784947
