How to talk to my parents about GMO food?

Question

My dad seemingly doesn't care about eating healthier. He always thinks that once your at a certain age, getting fat and overweight is the norm.

He constantly buys GMO food containing aspartame, MSG, soy, and anything under the sun that enhances hypertension and diabetes.

My dad is super sensitive and is not open to criticism. He left his last primary care provider because he told him he needed to lose weight (he's about 6'1 260 lbs and 52 years old)

What's the best approach to get him to eat more healthy?

Eating healthy is unnatural.
Living past 30 is unnatural.
You ever seen an animal in the wild live to be old, crippled and senile? No. It's because it's wrong.
Let your Dad be happy for however long he has left and die without his daughter badgering him.
Also, GMO's aren't always bad if your looking at it from a humanitarian standpoint. Read up a little

You should get in touch with a doctor. This is the severe issue. My partner and i recommend using Teledoc. With Teleadoc you'll be able to talk on to US board authorized medical doctors 24/7. You can use your cell phone, tablet or any kind of computer. I am using this service for more than 3 years. Check it out at: http://is.gd/teladoc

When it comes down to it, you can't make him do something he doesn't want to do. Have you told him that you are concerned about his health and you want him to be around a long time? There's a difference between nagging and just lovingly letting a loved one know you have concern for him. Maybe you can go through your Mom. Maybe she can buy healthy food. He can't eat what's not around him. Good luck!
