Are GM Foods more Nutritious?

Due to consumer demand, there is a growing trend in the United States for food companies to have their foods be verified to contain no GM (genetically modified) products or ingredients. Research the use of GM foods and plants within our food supply, including their pros and cons, primary use, and any possible health issues related to them.

In your post, address the following questions:

Are there advantages to the use of GM foods?

Is there a justifiable fear to consuming GM foods/ingredients within our diets or are consumers overreacting? Why or why not?

Are organic foods more nutritious and safer compared to GM foods? Why or why not?

After your research, will you change your dietary and food purchasing choices?
