With a growing population many people believe that we should focus on producing more GM foods. What are the advantages and the disadvantages of doing this?
It is known, nowadays, that population growth leads to the problem that some people around the
world
suffer from a lack of food. Genetically modified foods
seem to be a good alternative to normal foods
, and therefore
, could stop worldwide starvation. In the forthcoming paragraphs, I will discuss the positive and negative effects of using GM
foods
.
On the one hand, such
alternatives as GM
foods
do not require killing animals
. Killing animals
used to be the only way to survive for humankind in the past; however
, throughout evolution, people found other sources of food like protein-containing plants and mushrooms. Moreover
, a big part of vegetarians and vegans claim that killing animals
is immoral in the modern world
, and should be completely banned. According to my own experience, I saw how farmers killed poor animals
and used their bodies for further
sales. That's why, GM
foods
seem to be a good replacement, which does not force people to kill animals
.
On the other hand
, our world
is not completely ready for GM
foods
. It is proven that using genetically modified foods
is much more expensive than using normal foods
. In addition
, new fabrics should be built and deployed around the world
, which also
requires big money. For instance
, Kazakhstan was passionate to replace farms with GM
fabrics; however
, it turned out that every GM
foods
fabric needed a huge budget, and therefore
, this
project failed due to financial problems in Kazakhstan at those times.
In conclusion, I would say that focussing on producing more GM
foods
is a debatable idea. Thus
, despite obvious advantages like stopping killing animals
, we still have a problem with expensive GM
foods
fabrics .Submitted by bale.dunkel
