My information on GM foods


The word GM foods or GMOs  is most commonly used to refer to crop plants created for human or animal feeding using the latest molecular biology techniques. To genetically modify a plant you have to GM its genes, once you have done that that plant can do lots of things for example it can grow and survive with a little amount of water. Some people say that GM foods are really helpful because first of all it saves world hunger with more GM crops the food increases the yield of the GM crops and farmers get more food. Farmers really like GM plants because Prevents wasted crops. If pests cannot eat the crops, nothing goes to waste. Therefore, farmers make more money! But there is lots of disadvantages to GM foods for example Scientist say that the safety of GM products is not verified yet and they have not yet experimented. The ingredients of the GM can cause cancer; it could raise new allergy outbreaks in humans.

I believe that GM foods are not helpful because it has too many disadvantages people just do this for the money, for me it has no purpose. Lots of people can die or get really sick just because of money. Genetically modified foods can raise new allergy outbreaks in humans, it was found a genetically engineered soya bean containing Brazilian nut protein was allergenic to humans and was banned from production.
