Because GM foods have the new traits, they may survive in the extreme conditions, thus they may become the new threat to other plants. According to Pedretti, In Canada, the farmers found the “roundup ready” canola become a pest in other crops and in native areas because of its herbicide resistance. Those farmers called them “superweed”. This is only one example among many others. The GM foods always have the pesticide and herbicide resistance and climate change tolerance. As a result, some of GM crops have strong vitality and they can spread out their genes by wind or insects. They can invade the areas of other plants and they can kill some kinds of beneficial insects. At that time, the ecosystem will be unbalanced and the environment will be destroyed and people will gain no benefit from that situation. In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating, we should stop popularize the GM foods and stop grow GM …show more content…
They say that the GM crops can produce more food while consume less natural resources. This is true but actually, the GM seeds are really expensive. As a result, only the farmers in developed countries and small part of farmers in developing countries can approach and afford those seeds. Most of the farmers in the hunger areas are hard to get genetically-modify technology. Even if all the farmers around the world have the chance to plant GM crops, the GM plants still need special fertilizers and expensive chemical additive to maintain growing. Thus, it is very hard to popularize GM food globally. In order to solve the global hunger, we need to think about other solutions like protect the cultivated land and develop the techniques of pest control instead of developing GM foods. After all, growing GM food is not the only way to get rid off global
