How to create a GMO
GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. There are an unbelievable amount of GMOs out there that most people wouldn't even guess had been genetically modified. One common GMO is corn. Scientists have genetically modified corn to make it grow taller and bigger, and to last longer. Bananas are one of many fruits that have been changed to last longer. Fruits and vegetables aren't the only things that are genetically modified however. Animals such as chickens and salmon are too. It seems that chickens have been genetically modified since the beginning of time. They are given a shot that will enhance their growth rate by at least double. Some of the scenes on the chicken farms can be disgusting because of the way the chickens are being treated. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an animal lover, but I don't like to see animals suffer either. In a lot of cases, chicken farmers cram thousands of these chickens into cramped living spaces and pretty much force the chickens to produce eggs like there's no tomorrow. Salmon have been genetically modified to make them bigger, healthier, and better adaptive to their environment. Scientists are pretty sure that the "New" salmon are safe to eat.
