With the increasing use and advances in technology, science has reached the tables of many families across the world. Genetically modified organisms have been around since the 1990’s and have been used to improve the nutrition and reliability of the food supply, but these benefits come along with unknown effects in the long run. Although the adoption of new gmo crops has increased, consumer knowledge about them remains very uncertain. The journal entry from the link discusses the dangers of having misinformation or not really knowing about gmo products that we are consuming. In the research they conducted, the findings showed that most of the American public do not feel that they know much or anything at all about gm products and the knowledge they have is just misinformation. This shows how important it is for there to be consumer education on the pros as well as the cons of genetically modified organisms.
