Have you ever seen the real banana? Do you know how strawberries come about? It might come as a shock to you, but what you regard as 'natural food' might not be natural at all, and perhaps genetically modified (GM) food is not as bad as you think. At TEDxUQ, Jimmy Botella busted some of the fallacies we have regarding the food we eat every day, and gave us a sneak peak of what GM food actually is, and where it sits in our current society.
