Answer:

Do you mean NON gmo??? Because gmo is a very harmful found in foods! It means "genetically modified organisms" and it will be harmful to your body and the environment. organic food on the other hand, is good for your body and is better for the environment because no pesticides or harmful chemicals were involved. It is harder to grow organic crops because of this though, so that is why organic foods are more expensive than gmo.

Answer:

Organic food vs GMO

Most commonly found in crops such as soybeans, corn and canola, GMOs are designed to provide a higher nutritional value to food, as well as protect crops against pests. Organic foods, on the other hand, do not contain any pesticides, fertilizers, solvents or additives.

USDA organic means that food products with the organic seal prohibit the use of GMOs, antibiotics, herbicides, toxic chemicals and more. Organic crops cannot be grown with synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or sewage sludge. ... On the flip side, Non-GMO Verified products only exclude GMO ingredient

From a health perspective, GMO food is no different than non-GMO food. In fact, they can even be healthier. Imagine peanuts that can be genetically engineered to reduce levels of aflatoxin, and gluten-free wheat, which would give those with celiac disease a healthy and tasty bread option.
