Genetically modified food and animals- or GMOs –is a controversial topic worldwide. GMOs have gotten considerably popular over the the years. Like everything, there are pros and cons to GMOs. Although in this particular case the benefits seem to outweigh the negatives.
There are many advantages to GMOs. Modifying the food can not only give the food better quality but also enhance the taste. In addition, it can make plants and animals more resistant to disease and pests, which means less pesticide (HRF.org). Furthermore, GMOs can add a substantial amount of vitamins and minerals “to provide greater nutritive benefits to those who eat them” (HRF.org). GMOs also have an increased shelf life, which means they can be transported longer
