The quote below by Phil Angell of Monsanto should be enough to convince you that staying away from genetically modified organisms in foods.  Knowing the trust issues we have with our government anyway, counting on the FDA to ensure food safety is tenuous at best.  Having a company knowingly working to exploit that weakness, at OUR risk, is reprehensible.   Join the Non-GMO project and fight to preserve the integrity of the food you eat.   To find out about the Non-GMO project, visit http://www.nongmoproject.org/

A Monsanto executive told The New York Times that the safety of genetically engineered foods was the government’s problem, not the company’s:

“Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of

biotech food,” said Phil Angell, Monsanto’s director of corporate

communications. “Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible.

Assuring its safety is the FDA’s job.”
