2013 Genetically Modified Foods: Good for Us? Scientists have learned how to modify foods in the last decades of the twentieth century. That is‚ they have learned to manipulate the DNA of plants and animals. Scientists were able to transfer a trait from one organism to another by splicing the DNA of one organism into the DNA of another organism ("Introduction"). This process changes the genetic makeup of plants and labels these altered foods "genetically modified organisms." Food should not

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

Genetically modified (GM) foods‚ a fairly recent development that came about from research in genetic engineering‚ pose a potential threat to human and environmental health. The basis of genetically modifying foods is the transferal of desirable genetic traits of plants to an agricultural crop. Genetic modification creates crops that are resistant to herbicides or can repel insects. Genetic modification also makes growing crops easier and allows for higher production rates. Anytime genetically
