Im going against genetically modified foods because you never know what can happen to your body. When food is genetically modified, its genes are changed by scientists to produce new traits that farmers and consumers want from their food. For example, with genetic modification, a plant that is eaten by a certain type of insect could be changed in such a way that it tastes bad or is even dangerous to that insect. With genetic engineering, food items can become more resistant to disease and pests, last longer on store shelves, or have higher nutritional value per serving. Most scientific organizations say that genetically modified foods are safe, but some people are concerned that the long-term effects are still unknown.

Other people are concerned that a lack of regulation exposes people to genetically modified foods without their knowledge, minimizing the independence of the consumer. Many of the foods that are already common in our diet are obtained from plant varieties that were developed using conventional genetic techniques of breeding and selection. Hybrid corn, nectarines which are genetically altered peaches, and tangelos which are a genetic hybrid of a tangerine and grapefruit are all examples of such breeding and selection. Bioengineered foods and food ingredients including food additives must adhere to the same standards of safety under the act that apply to their conventional counterparts. This means that these products must be as safe as the traditional foods in the market.
Im going against genetically modified foods because threw any type of food including genetically modified food you can either catch a disease or a virus.Genetically modified foods are just what the name implies. in the U.S. they argue against any labeling here on the grounds that it would imply genetically modified foods are different. As it goes with many dangerous, yet commonly consumed products that we may never know what we could be eating. And that's why I refused to eat any genetically modified food or what ever I don't know what im
