Genetically modified foods most commonly refer to plants, which have been modified in a laboratory to improve nutritional content and targeted traits created for humans and animals. With advances in various types of technology, including genetic engineering, farmers and scientists have changed the way food is grown and manufactured, raising questions about the methods used, their risks and possible effects. It's no secret that GMF foods have quickly spread around the world. GMFs have raised concerns about their own benefits, as they resist disease, produce higher yields and improve food nutrition, making people ignorant of their effects. Every time we go to a grocery store or supermarket, we don't know if the vegetables, fruits or even meats sold are genetically modified. Worse yet, most consumers don't pay much attention to what they eat, when in reality they are consuming modified foods. It's not difficult to think back to a time when food was simpler and healthier. How did we get to the point where genetically modified organisms are present in much of our food? While genetic dominance in foods can be traced throughout history, the modern marvel of GMOs has only emerged in recent years. “The 1980s marked the discovery of specific pieces of DNA that could be transferred from one organism to another. This became the basis of the process of genetic modification” (Mith). In 1983, the first transgenic plant, an antibiotic-resistant tobacco plant, was created. Five years later, the leading biotechnology company introduced soy. "Later in 2008, other genetic modifications were improved, when scientists discovered that middle of paper ... could not be stopped, but I believe there are other ways to save people from hunger and hunger. Personally, I am sure that there can be nothing better and healthier than organic food and I totally disapprove of any form of genetic engineering. harmony with nature, let's eat its healthy fruits and be incredibly healthy.Bibliography "Adoption of genetically modified crops in the United States" ERS/USDA data Internet. .Nacci, Giuseppe. diseases."
