What is GM food?

GM food is food which contains genetically modified organisms and that's short for GMOs. GMOs are when some genetic material has been artificially inserted into the genetic material of another organism. Essentially it's a very random, unpredictable process. So, you might have the genetic material of an arctic flounder fish being inserted into a tomato. They are completely different species. This wouldn't happen in nature. When a gene is inserted into another host it can express all these strange characteristics about which we really have no idea. Therefore it's a very risky process.
