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.
8. GMOs harm the environment. GM crops and their associated herbicides can harm birds, insects, amphibians, marine ecosystems, and soil organisms. They reduce bio-diversity, pollute water resources, and are unsustainable.heir justification was the claim that they had no information showing that GM foods were substantially different. But this was a lie. Secret agency memos made public by a lawsuit show that the overwhelming consensus even among the FDAâs own scientists was that GMOs can create unpredictable, hard-to-detect side effects.
