This type of crossbreeding and combining of genes is not natural in any aspect. GMO is “engineered to withstand herbicides and/or to produce an insecticide” within the plant (Non GMO Project‚ 2013). Most developed countries do not recognize GMO as safe for consumption and have attributed its insecticide properties as the reason for “super bugs and super weeds” emerging on farms (Non GMO Project‚ 2013).
