Genetically Modified Foods
Everyone has the right to know what they're truly eating
What is Genetically Modified Food?
Genetically Modified Food, GMF, is chemically altered food products to better human health. But is it really better for humans? Many disagree on whether or not it is healthy to eat GMF's Because the pro's and cons are equal, but ignoring to label foods chemically altered; does that sound right to you?
Benefits
Can some good come from artificially enhanced foods? Yes, there are some benefits that are a result of GMF's. That is why some people believe they are more beneficial than harmful. The genetically modified food can help world hunger, enhance medical vaccines and prevention of illnesses, eliminate pesticides, and fight malnutrition. The genes exchanged from different products and released into another can give the new food product the ability to rapidly grow and then distribute it across the world feeding everyone. Also, the genes injected into another food can be utilized in the production of vaccines and antibodies enhancing the prevention of illness. The GMF is resistant to pests which is the sole reason pesticides were invented, so the use of them would no longer be necassary. Finally, the newly improved food has different key elements of nutrition that would cure malnutrition.
