youtube/watch?v=ynyB2fNn8kQ According to GMO Compass, the global hectares of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms, or crops) grew from 1.7 million hectares in 1996 to nearly 140 million hectares in 2009, and the majority of these crops were grown for herbicide tolerance. This allows farmers to spray for weeds without worrying about killing their crops at the same time. Most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safe. In more than 6 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs. In the U.S., the government has approved GMOs based on studies conducted by the same corporations that created them and profit from their sale. The long-term impacts of GMOs are unknown, and once released into the environment these novel organisms cannot be recalled. - Non-GMO Project USA
