GM food: a friend ar a foe? Everyone knows that the technological progress is developing from day to day and a lot of scientists are making a lot of important observations and discoveries as well as doing different ground – breaking researches in many fields of science. I consider that the most part of these discoveries are aimed at solving the problems that we ourselves have created before. One of the most burning problems nowadays is the world hunger problem: many countries suffer the lack of food, because the natural sources are not eternal and our careless treatment of the wood and soil has only led to the escalation of this problem. Many people see the solution of it in genetically – modified food. Yet it is not the way out as it may seem at the first glimpse. First of all, what is genetically – modified food? These are foods derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Genetically modified organisms have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are supposed to increase the quantity of crops and reduce the terms of its ripening. And it does not take a rocket science to understand that the GM food will have a positive effect on the countries where millions of people die of famine. So, such countries as the United States, Brazil, Argentina, India, Canada, China, Paraguay and Pakistan practice growing the GM food. Though numerous researches have shown that the artificial food is harmless, one cannot be totally sure that this type of food is not dangerous. This fact is related to people who have different food allergies and the substances contained in the GM foods can produce the allergic reactions. Moreover, some researches have shown that the GM organisms did not help increase the crops and it was just wasting of money. Many people believe we should devote our efforts and money into another solution. “We need biodiversity intensification that works with nature’s nutrient and water cycles, not against them,” says Vandana Shiva, the founder of Navdanya, the Indian movement against the GM food.

GM food: a friend ar a foe?

Everyone knows that the technological progress is developing from day to day and a lot of scientists are making a lot of important observations and discoveries as well as breaking new ground with new research in many fields of science. I consider that the most part of these discoveries are aimed at solving the problems that we have created ourselves. One of the most burning problems nowadays is world hunger: many countries suffer the lack of food, because the natural sources are not eternal and our careless treatment of the wood(or forests maybe?) and soil has only led to an escalation of this problem. Many people see the solution being genetically – modified food. Yet it is not the way out as it may seem at the first glimpse.

I should say some of the corrections are just my opinion of what sounds better but in all I think this was a good effort. :)
I think use must be made of some GM foods in the future, if we persevere with current farming methods. I think a strong possibility is that of insects and small sea creatures and algae being farmed in the future. Who knows?! I am just thankful I have enough food now.
