Many people don't understand what genetically modified food is.  Since the mid 1990’s the U.S. has increasingly planted more GM crops than any other country.  As of 2008 the US was growing about 62.5 million hectares or approximately 154 million acres of GM crops. Keeping in mind that one hectare equals 2.471 acres.
