lecture 2 _ Can you check for me? Quickly, please!!!!!

The lecture is about some of the benefits and the possible risks of GM (genetically modified) food. Firstly, the author indicates its three benefits by beginning with a persuasive debate. The first great benefit is that genetically modified plants may need fewer pesticides than normal plants, which leads to less pollution in the environment. Another notable merit of genetically modified plants is that they may grow better than normal plants. To demonstrate this, the author takes strawberries for/as a typical example. It They can be grown in the spring at which time non-GM while the others usually die. The final one benefit is that many genetically modified plants stay fresh longer after they are harvested - . It means that there is more time to sell them they have longer shelf-life as well as less food is thrown away and and there is less waste.

To continue the lecture, the author also mentions three possible risks of genetically modified food. One risk is that genetically modified plants may start to dominate the other wild plants unmodified strains. That is a reason why they(?) are at risk and may gradually become extinct. Another risk is that genetically modified plants will may hurt be harmful to wild animals and insects in the environment. For example, genetically modified corn is very dangerous for the survival of butterflies. But probably, the most important risk is probably that genetically modified food may be harmful to people who consume food in some particular(?) ways because scientist modify genes from animals or plants. To end up, a conclusion given from the lecture is that there are both benefits and risks of genetically modified food.
