Know this about Genetically Modified Foods

Written by Rachel Jenkins, who writes about saving money, food & frequenting www.lifeinsurancequotes.org There are certain lines that people should never cross, such as creating or inserting DNA from one species or life to another totally un-related species. Genetically modified food technology is an invasive, unsafe method that crosses the breeding lines among plants, animals and other creatures. GM technology was invented in 1994, so there has not been enough time to determine the long term health effects on humans.
