Genetically modified food can also be achieved by altering their DNA (or genes) by genetic engineering techniques. This usually involves inserting a gene into the organisms' DNA to create a certain trait. For example, some corn crops have been genetically modified so that they become more resistant to herbicides and insect pests. In most countries Genetically Modified foods (GM) as well as foods containing GM source foods have to be labelled by law, giving consumers the choice to use them or not. Agriculturally speaking the opposite of GM foods are "Organic" crops.
Sadly, almost all the food out there is genetically modified(gm). You can find more natural foods by purchasing organic or all natural products, but they are not guaranteed to be gm free.
Some of the GM, or genetically modified, foods include crops, meats, and dairy. Cows are normally fed a GM diet to enhance the meat or dairy and many of the time the fertilzer in crops such as corn and tomatoes are genetically modified as well.
GM foods are brilliant. WOOOOOO! Genetically modified foods cannot be collectively put into a "good" or a "bad" category. Depending on how they are modified, they may be very good for us, very bad for us, or anywhere in between.
GM Chickens are genetically modified chickens.
According to recent studies, Morgellons Disease may be linked to genetically modified food. Soy allergies may also be triggered by GM food.
no
Hunger is a very complex issue, so there is no onesolution for it. GM foods can be part of the solution.
Yes but they are GM Foods (Genetically Modified Foods) which could have any kind of new disease so if you find one, I wouldn't recommend eating it.
They are genetically modified.
GM = Genetically Modified. It means that the genes of the species have been modified, usually by introducing a gene from some other species.GM = Genetically Modified.

It means that the genes of the species have been modified, usually by introducing a gene from some other species.
Foods that are known to be genetically modified and sold commercially are corn, soybeans, canola, crookneck squash, sugar beets, sweet corn, and papayas. Potatoes and tomatoes have also been genetically modified, but as far as is known, GM varieties are not sold commercially. Any processed foods that contain any of the foods listed are likely to contain GMOs.
