In recent years‚ there has been a controversy over the use of GMOs. I decided to find out why this is‚ so I have done my research on the history‚ benefits‚ risks‚ and the different viewpoints people have taken on this topic. While I will continue to do more extensive research‚ I have already researched on several of MCC’s periodicals databases including CQ Researcher‚ Science Direct‚ and EBSCO Host‚ and also on the search engine Google. I will continue in my research but so far I’ve noticed several

But not to worry GMO foods has you covered. Just imagine food that would never rot‚ is immune to almost every disease or virus‚ and can be farmed in almost anywhere in the world. This could feed our growing population and end global hunger. It’s time to rethink genetically modified foods. There are no immediate differences between foods produced
