If the LDS Church were to come out and declare certain foods unacceptable for human consumption based on nutritional needs or containing harmful substances, it would become part of the Word of Wisdom to raise our own gardens, our own beef and chickens, etc to avoid the chemicals which are in our foods.

But that is NOT the purpose of the Word of Wisdom. The WoW is intended as a covenant between God and Man. God asks us to avoid certain things, and lists blessings for doing so. It does not need to have anything to do with health concerns, but it does cover the worst of the unhealthy habits the world has accepted as normal.

Additionally, we have been told our bodies are temples, and we should treat them as such. But there is not yet a question in the Temple Recommend interview to determine if you have eaten any GMOs or meats injected with growth hormones. They do not ask if we know what has happened to our food before we eat it. The Word of Wisdom is more than what we are asked about in the Temple Recommend interview, but somehow that is the only part people focus on.
