Genetically Engineered Food, Another Paradigm! ... Genetically modified (GM) food works the same way, rearrangements of plant genes are made but the results are beneficial. ... The world’s population is growing rapidly but the land to harvest food is a limited resource, causing famine in many developing countries (Genetically Modified Foods). GM foods increase yield and help alleviate this problem. ... Also these foods can trim your waste size due to their nutritious values (Genetically Modified Foods). In the modern world genetically altered food benefits many aspects of our life; it is environmentally safe, natural, and helpful to human kind. ... As Professor Richard Pawkins, an evolution and genetics expert, advocates, “All plants and animals including humans are genetically modified. They are genetically modified by natural selection of random mutations and recombination” (Harvest of Fear). Genetically modified foods are an enhancement of this natural selection.
Two million children die annually and over five hundred thousand succumb to permanent blindness due to vitamin A deficiencies (Genetically Modified Foods). ... Scientists are working on GM rice called, “Golden Rice”, which will contain high amounts of vitamin A (Genetically Modified Foods). This is a case in which genetically altered food can solve major world health problems. ... Plants can be engineered to with stand harsh climates, pest, disease, and to grow more efficiently (Genetically Modified Foods). ... (Genetically Modified Foods). ... GM foods are a nutritious source of food that can help maintain a healthier and better diet. They contain high amounts of fiber and starch, such as GM potatoes, and scientists have been looking at GM foods with low calories and low sugar such as: low-calorie, sugar beets and high-fiber corn (Harvest of Fear), food people on a diet can relate to.
