Should We Be Genetically Modified Food?

Throughout history, many things have been changed to help humans prosper. Buildings made from different materials, plants grown from different fertilizers, medicines upgrades to prevent sickness, but to what extent will we go to. Genetically modified foods are foods that have supposedly been made better by changing an organism's genetic code. However people don't know how this will affect them later. It could make them sick or even eventually kill them after a long time of consumption. From changing something in an organism's code the organism could react in a negative way that takes time to see. This could be dangerous for humans. Genetically modified foods should not be consumed by anyone.

Genetically modified foods are at a lower cost than regular food and are sold at a higher rate, but what's more important. Your health, or money. In the passage that I have read it states that some researchers say that GM foods do not do any harm, but they also thought that DDT(dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, a …show more content…
Bees pollinate plants to make honey, but now these GM plants are producing insecticides on their own and killing off insects that would pollinate them. After a while these insects will eventually begin to completely die out and no longer be able to exist. With these insects being harmed the ecosystem will change and be thrown off balance.

Given all of these reasons I can't see why anyone would be for something such as genetically modified foods. With how they harm the ecosystem and with what we don't know about them, we could be in danger of something that could harm humans if the correct cautions are not taken. With many things in the world that scientists have done there have been quite a few fails so, they should not expect us to believe we should put something in our bodies that could potentially harm us. GM foods are completely out of the question when it comes to having any common
