GM foods have many negative effects such as causing allergies, increasing our pesticide exposure. The patent for GM seeds would increase the seed price and reduce farmers’ earning. Also, they would increase insect resistance to the pesticides. The effects of GM foods are controversial. Although there are many tests, such as using nutritional analysis and protein analysis, to find out the potential risks to human health, to livestock and to the environment, they cannot 100 percent guarantee the GM foods do not harm our health and the environment. The long-term health risks on humans have not been adequately investigated. Because of the uncertainty, production of GM foods should be banned until it has been proven safe to eat and produce. Our health is the most important factor to consider. We cannot put our health at risks just because we want foods with higher levels of nutrients or longer shelf life. It is a good idea to require GM food labeling because it is our right to know what contains in our foods. However, it is better to ban GM foods to avoid them causing negative effects. Requiring GM food labeling can eliminate the health risks of GM foods since we can choose not to eat GM foods, but it cannot prevent the environmental and economic impacts. Therefore, the production of GM foods should be
