GoGo has NO GMO's....What are GMO's?
GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants
or animals created through the gene splicing techniques of biotechnology
(also called genetic engineering, or GE). This experimental technology
merges DNA from different species, creating unstable combinations of
plant, animal, bacterial and viral genes that cannot occur in nature or
in traditional crossbreeding.
Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct
application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. Despite
biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the
market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or
any other consumer benefit.
Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health
problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers’ and consumers’
rights.
