Gmf Should Be Banned
Genetically modified food should be banned
As newer and newer technologies are coming upfront more and more risks factors are added in the human health. Not only do they damage the human body but also it affects plants and living organisms who are consuming it. Today there is not much difference found in neither consuming healthy food like fruits, vegetables nor eating french fries, burger because the more processed food the more genetically modified? According to the author Smith “Americans eat genetically modified foods everyday. When compared to European countries their strict policy avoids them to use these foods” (23-25). According to the government approved website WHO defines genetically modified foods as the “food in which genetic information from one organism, and inserting or modifying it into another organism”. The main reason for this technique proved that crops stay fresher, grow bigger, and have the crops create their own pesticides. However the debate is still going on whether GMF are safe or not. The author Qaim in his article says “GM food helps in the production of highest food and food security among the developing countries” (552). As the genes are inserted in a ways that gives highest production with added nutrition and appealing, which makes consumers desirability towards that food. Not only has this, but it also creates benefits to the manufacturing company’s who sell them as they can raise there price accordingly. Genetically modified food should be strictly banned as it also adds to various negative effects on human health and need to be removed from everyday agriculture because of the risks they create to human health. Genetically modified foods are found to produce toxic substances. According to the author Dona “Animal toxicity studies with certain GM foods have shown that they may toxically affect several organs and systems” (164-165). However, this particular gene in the GM soybean also produced an allergen (a substance that
