GMOs are bad for your body, bad for the community, bad for farmers and bad for the environment. This is why: 1  The health consequences of eating genetically modified organisms are largely unknown. 2  Genetically engineered foods have not been shown to be safe to eat and may have unpredictable consequences. Biotech firms sell sterile seeds to African farmers-meaning the seeds are only good for one season, because the plants that grow up will not be able to reproduce. 2  Farmers must buy new seeds every year instead of growing from the previous yearâs yield. 3  GMOs are not the farmersâ friend.
GMOs and Human Health. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho told the People's Health Assembly that GM is proving bad for health because it goes against the grain of the new genetics science. A GMO or genetically modified organism is one whose natural genetic material has been modified by having synthetic genetic material inserted into it.he World Health Organization has just issued a report, Modern food biotechnology, human health and development: an evidence-based study (23 June 2005) claiming that although there may be potential risks involved in the use of GMOs, the GM crops that are grown today are not likely to present health risks.
