There are serious concerns about the sale and production of genetically modified food, yet this is necessary if we are to meet the demands of an increasing world popultion. Do the benefits of GM foods outweight the negatives?

Nowadays, the arguments about genetically modified

food

have been raised. There is a group of

people

who claim that

GM

food

can solve the worldwide starvation problems,

while

others believe that it has potential harnesses for humans who consume it. The pros and cons brought by genetically modified

food

have been widely debated in society. Noticeably, genetically modified

food

brings lots of upsides for the world. After being DNA modified, fruits, vegetables, and proteins could involve more nutrients, or even grow sweeter and bigger than the initial one.

This

technology solves the situation of starvation problems in poor countries, providing enough

food

and needed energy for

people

who suffering hunger. Scientists and farmers have made lots of efforts on

GM

food

, and there is no research that highlights that genetically modified

food

could harm

people

's bodies.

Although

the benefits of

GM

food

seem considerable, there are still some caveats of them. There are some independent cases showing that children might be allergic to

GM

food

.

Although

there is no concrete research revealing the negatives of genetically modified

food

, there are some teams of doctors who doubt that ingesting

GM

food

might cause the modified DNA in the

food

to affect the cells in the human body.

People

are afraid of these rumours and the potential harms so they try to request the

food

industry companies labelled

GM

food

. Take Taiwan for an example, soybeans are the popular types of

GM

food

there, and there are lots of soybean milk companies labelling that they do not use genetically modified beans as an ingredient, in order to convince customers to buy their products.

Moreover

, there are many ways can meet the demand for

food

caused by overpopulation.

For instance

, new agricultural technology and irrigation systems. We do not have to take the risk of

GM

food

. In conclusion, I think the benefits brought by

GM

food

do not surpass the negatives it brings. There are too many things

people

have not figured out with genetically modified technology. I believe that there is no need for us to use our bodies to take huge risks.
