Plot Summary
What’s on your plate? Filmmaker and concerned father Jeremy Seifert is in search of answers about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and how they affect our children, the health of our planet, and our freedom of choice. His journey takes him to Haiti, Paris, Norway, and even the front door of agri-giant Monsanto, the largest provider of GMOs in the United States, as he poses perhaps the ultimate question about what we eat: is it still possible to reject our current food system, or have we already lost something we can’t get back? GMO OMG is a timely, informative, entertaining, and ultimately insightful documentary about the question that’s a growing concern to citizens around the world: who controls the future of our food?

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: [Provides] a gentle, flyover alert to obliviously chowing-down citizens ... without hectoring and with no small amount of charm.
Fresh: Combines the folksy charm of Taggart Siegel's The Real Dirt on Farmer John and the frightening facts of Robert Kenner's Food, Inc.
Rotten: Insufferably certain of its own charm and a lot less interested in educating viewers than it purports to be, Jeremy Seifert's GMO OMG offers an introduction to genetically modified food that is only slightly more thoughtful than the movie's title.
Rotten: Why anyone would think that home movies of the director and his kids belong in a social-issues doc is a truly WTF question.

GMO
Speaking on behalf of all American farmers🇺🇸 Being a large scale farmer in South Dakota I understand GMOs. What people from the city's don't understand is paying a high price for fuel and corn being $2.91 per bushel (last time I checked) if u don't use genetically modified organisms many farmers would go broke. Long ago when my great great grandpa started our farm in Northern South Dakota there was no such thing as GMOs. But he only fed 55 people. Now in 2014 farmers each feed 155 people and without GMOs (which help make yields go up drastically) there is no way farmers could make it work. U may be paying $25 for a can of corn because there would be a major food shortage! Without roundup which is a chemical for killing noxious weeds farming would be near impossible in northern United Stated. U would have to come in with cultivators which dry the ground out which then on dry years as this one we wouldn't have a crop at all which means u may have to pay $10.00 for a gallon of gas! Also without major amounts of grain we wouldn't have enough feed for cattle so u may wind up paying $20 for a Mc Donald's hamburger! So u city folks let us farmers farm the way we want and let us do it in peace.
Keep the wheels turning,

GMO Oh so wrong
We rented this film knowing it would be slanted but unfortunately it fell far from the mark in explaining genetically modified organisms, their reason for existing as well as the enormous amount of suffering they’ve minimized world wide by reducing starvation. His points are emotional and provide little to no factual information. If you want an emotionally driven soapbox documentary that you can discuss in your favourite coffee house then this is the film for you. If you need something with more substance about GMOs then keep looking.
A Look at GMO from a Father
The problem with this movie is the clear agenda. Everything we eat has been modified all that changed is our ability to have greater control over the genotype to create the desired phenotype. Before we had to mix organisms with the desired phenotypes and hope the offspring would deliver the desired results. This is slow and significantly less effective.
A horrible anti science movie. GMO hatred by the left is the same as global warming denying by the right.
