A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Organisms that have been genetically modified include micro-organisms such as bacteria and yeast, insects, plants, fish, and mammals. GMOs are the source of genetically modified foods, and are also widely used in scientific research and to produce goods other than food. (wikipedia)
The rodents were fed a lifetime of genetically modified corn that had been doused with Roundup (glyphosate) during its growing process. The tragic results proved that the rats had a 50-70% chance of developing horrific, grotesque tumors from the diet. Naysayers attempted to refute the science behind the study and a war developed in the scientific community, one that is clearly ongoing with this Monsanto scientist that was very obviously put in place to discredit the harmful-to-Monsanto report. Natural News summarized some findings of the study:
• Up to 50% of males and 70% of females suffered premature death.
• Rats that drank trace amounts of Roundup (at levels legally allowed in the water supply) had a 200% to 300% increase in large tumors.
• Rats fed GM corn and traces of Roundup suffered severe organ damage including liver damage and kidney damage.
• The study fed these rats NK603, the Monsanto variety of GM corn that’s grown across North America and widely fed to animals and humans. This is the same corn that’s in your corn-based breakfast cereal, corn tortillas and corn snack chips.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, a lot of information in the Internet about this and if you want to know more, you will be terrified the whole truth. About this is my Projects.
Inspiration
I was inspired by one picture with a rat which had two tumors the size of a chicken egg. It looks horrible, so I decided not to show this picture here. Composition dead rats falling from the hand filled of grain appeared in my head after I started thinking, how can I tell people about what they eat.
I decided to photograph it against the background of the field where something is growing showing people that this grain can be from there and dead rats symbolize that the same can happen to people. I would like people to think about it. I decided to add the letters GMO written on the hand with blood, to be clear what it is about.
I decided only highlight shadows so the flash output was not large.
I used a flashgun speedlite with a dish on it.

I chose a suitable photo, replaced grain falling on dead rats in Photoshop and added the inscription blood GMOs. In addition to this there were many little work to improve photos.
ConclusionThis work was created for people to pay attention to what they eat. Everyone has heard the word "modified", but few of us know, what it stands for, when we talk about food. Labels on the products do not show all the information and when we see on the shelves in the store the word "organic" and look at the label and compare with other product (not organic), the difference did not find. This work is just about it, what a difference there is between GMO and conventional products.
This is just the beginning for those who decide to learn more about it. Because it's a big topic.
Dead rats in this photo means those studies conducted by scientists in rats fed of GMOs corn. The results were shocking ...
