                                                                                   ACRYLIC PAINTING  BY P. ÁLVARO (2012)

Genetically modified food is food derived from GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Its commercial sale started in 1994. Is there any risks for our health?Should they always be labelled? Controversy is served. Search for GMO Compass and combat Monsanto iniciatives. Can you infer my own point of view from this painting?
