Is anyone else concerned about GMO foods?

I'm making an attempt to avoid GMO foods.  We are told they are safe, but I'm not convinced.  Is anyone else concerned about this issue?

Yes, I'm very concerned about GMO :/ idk why we are messing with the food God gave us. I avoid GMO as much as possible.

Although I'm not avoiding these types of foods currently 100%, I make a conscious effort to try to eat only organic forms of wheat, corn and soy products as these are quite common in the Standard American Diet and are often GMO. Remember if it's labeled organic, legally in the U.S., it cannot be GMO. There's also a cool non-GMO symbol with a butterfly on it that makes it a bit easier to find these foods when shopping.

Happy Health!

Now serious questions about certification in China have been raised by the United States Agriculture Department. The agency, which uses private groups to conduct most organic inspections worldwide, has banned a leading American inspector from operating in China because of a conflict of interest that strikes at the heart of the organics' guarantee.
