Genetically modified foods most commonly refer to plants, which have been modified in a laboratory to improve nutritional content and targeted characteristics created for humans and animals. With advancements in various types of technology, particularly genetic engineering, farmers and scientists have changed the way food is grown and produced, raising questions about the methods, risks and possible effects. It's no secret that GMF foods have spread rapidly around the world. GMOs have raised concerns about their benefits as they are disease resistant, produce higher yields and improve the nutrition of foods making people unaware of their effects. Whenever we go to any grocery store or supermarket, we would not know whether the vegetables, fruits or even meat sold are genetically modified. To make this situation worse, most consumers don't pay much attention to what they eat, when in reality they are consuming modified foods. It's not hard to think back to a time when food was simpler and healthier. How did we get to the point where genetically modified organisms make up much of what we eat? While genetic dominance in foods can be traced throughout history, the modern wonder of GMOs has only appeared in recent years. “The 1980s marked the discovery that specific pieces of DNA could be transferred from one organism to another. This became the basis of the process of genetic modification” (Mith). In 1983, the first transgenic plant was created, an antibiotic-resistant tobacco plant. Five years later, the major biotech company introduced soy. “Later, in 2008, further genetic modifications were made, when scientists discovered that t... half of the paper... cannot be stopped, but I believe there are other ways to save people from starvation and increase agricultural production. Personally, I am sure that there can be nothing better and healthier than organic food and I totally disapprove of any form of genetic engineering. So, let us be in harmony with nature, eat its wholesome fruits and be incredibly healthy.Bibliography“Adoption of genetically modified crops” in the United States” ERS/USDA data.
