Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs)

GMOs have been consumed by billions of people for over 25 years with no proven health risks, and the scientific consensus supports their safety. Yet consumer opposition remains fierce — particularly in Europe, where most GM crops are banned. The debate extends beyond safety to corporate control (Monsanto/Bayer's seed patents), biodiversity loss, and the right of farmers to save seeds. GMOs may be the clearest example of a gap between scientific evidence and public perception in the food system.
