Are Genetically Modified (GM) foods good or bad people?
GM foods are foods derived from genetically modified animals or plants , which are specific changes submitted into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques . In 1990s , there were a great argument between people who for and against GM crops when they sold for first time . Some people were afraid of those products . Other support that idea because it will help and improve lives of many poor people around the world . However, There are many reasons for support and against GM food and products .
There are some reasons that make some people against GM food . First of all, the environmental dangers which carried harm to other organisms .For example, the pollen from B.t. corn caused high mortality rates
in monarch butterfly caterpillars. So, that pollen from GM crops moves from one place to another and destroies the rest of the plants . "Many of the caterpillars died because dusted BT corn pollen" , entomologist John Losey said . Second reason is human health risks because some people believe that there are unnamed result human health . Especially the effects on children . Finally, GM causes economic concerns for some people and consumer advocates are worried that patenting these new plant varieties will raise the cost of seeds so high that small farmers and third world countries would not be able to afford seeds for GM crops .
On other hand , some people like what GM produce and there are some reason for that . First of all , the nutrition because that way makes poor people getting food easy . Second , it is possible to eat meat that tastes good and without killing an animals .So, that idea reduces the enormous of animals in the world. Finally , consumers do not wish to eat food that has been treated with pesticides because of potential health hazards. " Consumers acceptance been great" , said Rasty Perry who runs a papaya farm .
To sum up, GM foods have the potential to help many of the world's hunger people. Many people feel that genetic engineering is useful project of the future . However, we must proceed with caution to avoid causing unintended harm to human health and the environment as a result of our enthusiasm for this powerful technology. In my opinion , GM foods are good projects to help poor people in the world . Especially the children because the golden rice that GM produce it has a vitamin A which a necessary thing for children and help all the generation in future .
