Genetically-Modified Organisms (GMOs) are currently being developed for agriculture. Currently commercialized GM crops in the U.S. include soy (94%), cotton (90%), canola (90%), sugar beets (95%), corn (88%), and Hawaiian papaya (more than 50%). The use of GMO crops can reduce agricultural costs to farmers and provide greater crop-yields, possibly helping with issues of food shortages. Although this sounds great, there is still a lot of controversy around the use of GMOs. Which of these is a valid argument on why we should not use GMOs in our food?
A) GMOs do not have any nutritional value
B) GMO crops are always more expensive to buy
C) GMO crops are invasive and take over the habitat of local crops
D) there is not enough research on long-term effects of eating GMOs

D) The fact that there is not enough research on long-term effects is the most pressing out of all of the options since they are somewhat experimental relating to the consumer.

The main argument against GMOs is there is not enough research on long-term effects of eating GMOs. Many people are afraid that there might be long-term consequences of eating food that has been "altered." D
