Many people consume engineered foods; particularly the North America and China. GMFs (Genetically Modified Food) have faced strong opposition. The anti-GMFs argue that modification of original organism composition does not improve the current status of the organisms. However‚ it generates dangerous side effects and yields toxic substances that could result in allergies‚ stomach problems‚ diseases and economic and environmental fears. People concern on the safety of food became pronounced before the

Ever since the 1970s‚ genetically modified food have been rising in North America and even a couple of European countries. In the 1980 ’s Biotechnology companies began field-testing GMO (genetically modified organism) crops for large-scale agricultural use. By 1996‚ GMO grains were mixed with non-GMO grains and sent to food processing plants all over America. One of the first organisms to be genetically modified and sold in store shelves is the tomato because scientist found out a way to make it

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

English Salon‚ a weekly seminar series sponsored by the YWCA Language School in Nagoya‚ Japan. My topic was genetically modified (GM) food and my stance was distinctly supportive. (Don’t start throwing the rotten tomatoes now!) Despite my hour-and-a-half long presentation‚ I was unable to convince most of the audience that GM foods were safe to eat and had many environmental benefits as well. GM food seems relatively benign if it’s the result of cross-breeding two organisms of the same species‚ such as

Genetic Modified food: Benefit or Detriment? The most wonderful activity a human being can experience is new flavors and foods. For example‚ the first time a person tastes a delicious juicy piece of prime rib or a delightful hamburger with cheese and ham‚ his world is never the same. 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

Are genetically modified foods safe to eat? Nowadays‚ genetically modified crops are planted worldwide. According to Human Genome Project‚ over 10 million farmers in 22 countries are planting genetically modified crops on the fields. The total acreage has reached a quarter billion (2011). Apparently‚ genetically modified foods have prominent benefits so that more and more people are planting them and eating them. Genetically modified plants are able to resist pests and certain kinds of diseases

The controversy over genetically modified (GM) food‚ also known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs)‚ is viewed in diverse manners worldwide. Some individuals believe that GM food is more beneficial to society than not‚ while others bear strong beliefs that they may cause negative and harmful effects in the future. There are several reasons that could lead a person to believe that GM foods have a variety of advantages. However‚ there are various factors that could lead a person to
