Is This Food Natural Or Genetically Modified?

Genetically modified tomatoes were on the market in the 1990s but were halted after 1998. Currently, there aren't any available commercially, but scientists continue to experiment with tomatoes that'll be more nutritious and tasty and have a longer shelf life.

Plump, beautiful, and perfect, but no longer a GMO since the 2000s.

Are these tomatoes natural or genetically enhanced?

Yeah, we probably wouldn't be able to eat these if it weren't for science.

GMO! With improved nutrition and taste.

What about this luscious papaya?

It's a hybrid — meaning it's NOT a GMO.

How about these witchy-looking things?

And this corn?

Currently, some dairy farms inject a hormone called rbGH into their cows to boost production. While the debate's still out on the effects of genetic modification on animals, scientists have been experimenting with milk to make it healthier. Trials have included higher omega-3 content, lower lactose content, and most recently, increased antibodies to fight viruses like Ebola.

It's a glass of milk made from hormone-injected cows!

This glass of milk?

It's supposed to combat vitamin A deficiency in developing countries.
