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 .
