One hot day, we were eating watermelon. There were no seeds in the watermelon. So, we wondered ‘why doesn’t this watermelon have seeds?’ and we found out it was because of GMOs. So we started to research GMOs. Finally, we chose it as our topic.

‘Genetically Modified Organisms’. GMOs are constituted as an animal, plant, or other organisms whose genetic structure has been changed by genetic engineering.
5
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.
