The practice of GMO foods changes the core genetic make-up of organisms. This genetic manipulation gives scientists the ability to create any trait that they wish, or suppress natural traits they don’t want. There are several reasons this unnatural genetic manipulation may affect you.

You don’t know the long term health effects of these genetically modified foods. Initial research has shown that short-term reactions can be severe.

Agro-chemical companies and the government are planning to charge farmers fees to grow their GMO crops, thereby negatively affecting the economy and environment.

Non-governmental organisations have strongly criticised a proposed joint project involving the multinational corporation Monsanto, the International Rice Research Institute, the Thai government and a Thai NGO, aimed at encouraging Thai rice farmers to use agro-chemicals and technologies.
