__//**GMO's by Josh K and James Gtoc**//__

=Introduction:= There are some ups and downs to having GMO's (Genetical Modified Organisims). We think that there is more people leaning towards the side of GMO's being good. We are two of thoose people. There is more evidence of it helping the environment and us than hurting the environment and us. Even though we are leaning towards the GMO's is good side we'll discuss both here.
 * == Pros == || == Cons == ||
 * It is able to create fuller or [|more stable plants], by causing them to increase in growth size and strength. || Some of the GMO’s are becoming [|resistant to some weed killers] because it is used on the plant often. ||
 * The plants will have a [|longer shelf life] and can withstand relatively harsh climates. || It is putting a lot of farmers out of business because they can’t reuse the seeds. ||
 * GMO’s like potatoes, tomatoes, and soy beans have a much better taste and have more nutritional qualities. || Companies will abuse the power of the weed killer and genetically modified plants just to make more money not to benefit the farmers. If farmers have no other choice in the seeds they choose, then a company can corner the market so that only thier brand of seed is bought, thus giving them a large sum of money. ||
 * Without GMO's crops will be easily [|killed by pestisides] || Unkown effects of eating these plants, some may be dangerous. Editing the genetic make up of plants, may not be for the better. All these changes in genetic makeup, may have undisreable effects on those who consume them. ||
 * GMO Organisims can grow and develop in and out of season, by changing their genetic makeup to prevent them from changing their growth pattern based on season. ||  ||
