There are many reasons one should buy Organic.  The Organic Center recently posted a great article listing the top 12 reasons.  Here is #4.

4. Steer Clear of Unknown Genetically Engineered Food Risks.

“Most of today’s genetically engineered (GE) foods were approved over 15 years ago during a period when the government was aggressively promoting biotechnology. The prevailing “wisdom” was that GE foods were “substantially equivalent” to conventional foods. We have since learned that even small differences in the genetic makeup of food can lead to unexpected human health risks. Because organic farmers cannot plant GE seeds, nor use GE crop inputs, choosing organic is the only sure way to avoid GE food risks.” Generations of Organic by The Organic Center, Boulder, CO.
