Nowadays genetic modification is one of the widely discussed topics and it seems that the debates are not going to end very soon. Primarily genetic modification is associated by most of the people with enriching mankind’s knowledge in sciences such as biology and chemistry. Also a lot of people find it as a solution to the countries at the brick of famine. However, while genetic engineering and the food crisis in the third world countries existing together, the idea of genetically modified foods as a solution became doubtful. Every private company has its shareholders, who are only interested in making profits, and it is a fact that all genetic modification companies are private. The main motive in genetic modification is financial. Genetic Modification is very old craft for mankind. It is taking part in our lives from thousands years ago until today, but it all began with selective breeding. In the early years of human, when we used agriculture in order to feed himself, human understood that using seeds of better tastes and of bigger sizes will make next harvest of a new generation, better. Even though, human did not know that it was genetic modification, he was making steps further in genetic engineering boom. Since the dawn of agriculture, humankind sought to grow biggest pumpkin, the most tasteful apple and etc. Till now, we have selected seed from plants that bear these characteristics, then cross-pollinated the strongest, healthiest plants in the hope of producing the most desirable food. That time future seemed bright with genetic modification, it seemed world hunger will disappear as genetic modification will switch to mass production. In the early 1990s the first genetically modified tomato crop was successfully produced commercially. (Chapman, page 1 History of genetically modified food) From that time genetically modified crops were switching to commercial business very fast. Already
