Would you eat genetically modified foods?

Nowadays, we hear that sources of foods (ex. rice grains, potatoes) are being genetically modified to be more resistant to pests and to have more produce.
My question is, would you consider eating genetically modified foods or produce if you knew that it has been genetically modified?

There is no clear study as to how these genetically modified foods will affect humans. Though of course, the purpose of genetically modifying these food sources is to produce more yields considering the scarcity of food in some areas of the world. But then again, probably we have been already eating these GMO's and we do not know that it has been genetically modified.

Probably I'd agree with you on that. It's really difficult to conduct a study about this beause it involves humans already. Thanks for the reply.

yes as long as it is safe why not. I think there is nothin wrong with modified foods. Technology helps us a lot in bringing up a variets of healthy food products.

Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't even know which food is not genetically modified. About being healthy foods, probably we have eaten foods that are already genetically modified and we don't know it. Thanks again.
