IQ2US: Genetically Modify Food
Wednesday, December 3, 2014
Genetically modified
(GM) foods have been around for decades. Created by modifying the DNA of
one organism through the introduction of genes from another, they are
developed for a number of different reasons—to fight disease, enhance
flavor, resist pests, improve nutrition, survive drought—and are mainly
found in our food supply in processed foods using corn, soybeans, and
sugar beets, and as feed for farm animals. Across the country and around
the world, communities are fighting the cultivation of genetically
engineered crops. Are they safe? How do they impact the environment? Can
they improve food security? Is the world better off with or without GM
food?Source.
