by consuming genetically modified foods. Genetically modified crops‚ foods etc. are made when scientist combine genes from different organisms to get desired traits in a certain organism. Scientist uses this in fruits and vegetables to help make them more nutritious or help with insect resistance. Some of the first GM foods were corn‚ cotton‚ soybean‚ canola and alfalfa.
