GM food should be allowed around the world
Currently, genetically modified foods are such an embedded part of our food system. There have been 33 years since 1982 FDA approved the first GMO appears on the market, but it still has some controversies on genetically modified food. Most of controversies surrounding the safety of genetically modified foods, the environment problem, the economic growth and other issues. Some people think genetically modified food are not good while others believe that is not true. This essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of genetically modified food and argue that genetically modified foods should be allowed around the world.
The genetically modified foods can cause many new problems for farmers and people who eat it. Since people began to plant and eat genetically modified food, the bad news of genetically modified foods never stop. In 2001, professor Goldstein, the teacher of genetics in University of Cambridge has done an experiment. He randomly selected 300 students in the school to participate in the experiment. He asked 300 students to only eat …show more content…
The current cultivation of genetically modified food is divided into two categories which is pest resistant transgenic foods and herbicide resistant GM foods(Cokburn, 2002). Farmers choose to grow these two types of genetically modified foods because they reduce the cost of production, the potential benefits of environmental protection(Cokburn, 2002). Insect resistant transgenic crops can resist the invasion of main pests, reduce the use of pesticides, reduce pollution and ecological damage to the environment(Cokburn, 2002). Moreover, genetically modified foods help people to learn Genes change continuously(Cokburn, 2002). In order to improve genetically modified foods, people will be more in-depth study. This could get more knowledge. And this may create more new products(Cokburn,
