Genetically Modified Food

Genetically modified foods have had foreign genes (genes from other plants or animals) inserted into their genetic code
What are the benefits of GMF's?
-Combat world hunger
-Medical benefits
-Pest resistant
-Fight malnutrition
What are the risks of GMF's?
-Unknown toxins
-Risk of negative interactions
-GMF's are not labeled
-Unknown genetic effect on humans
Should GMF's be labeled?
In my opinion, I do think that GMF's should be labeled on the foods that they are in. I think this because if someone is allergic to something that is added to a food, they should have been informed that it was in the food, before they had eaten it.
