A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a plant, animal, or other organism that has had its genetic makeup modified using engineering or transgenic technology. This change process creates combinations of bacterial, viral, plant, and animal genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. Although the process for creating GMOs was developed in the 1980s, the American public was widely unaware of the introduction of GMO foodstuffs until the 2000s. Much has been written on the topic of GMOs by both opponents and advocates of the industry that produces them.
