science behind genetically modified food has been around since the nineteen-seventies with a respectable safety record to support its production. The advances have helped saved millions of lives in places like India‚ Bangladesh‚ and Southeast Asia with the production of Golden Rice. There are no known risks of genetically modified food however there is speculation that is can cause autism and allergic reactions because of the genes added or altered. The most common genetically modified foods are corn‚

Food has never been the main concern within developed countries‚ but eventually conventional farming methods will struggle to sustain the future’s population. When GMO- Genetically Modified Foods was first introduced‚ people were very skeptical about its safety to the environment and human health. Consequently‚ it has inspired many organizations to be created to protest against the use Genetically Modified Foods. It has been proven safe and is under constant supervision from national authorities

However‚ since the beginning of the twentieth century‚ the production of food has been supplemented by science. This has triggered an angry dispute between the people who support the advances of biotechnology and

issue of genetically modified foods‚ commonly known as GM’s‚ has only gained the attention of millions‚ since it became a prominent and highly debated global issue. Genetically modified foods are created when the genes of an organism are engineered and modified to create a new or enhanced version of that organism. The process of using different genes from different sources to genetically modify foods led to public outcry and sometimes‚ praise. People in support of genetically modified foods claims

the WHO‚ Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally‚ e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism…. Most existing genetically modified crops have been developed to improve yield‚ through the introduction of resistance to plant diseases or of increased tolerance of herbicides. The WHO also adds that‚ GM could be used in changing the level of nutrients in food and limit
