Organic Food Organic food sales have taken off during the last decade as a reaction to GM (Genetically Modified Food). However, people who buy organic food might not have a clear idea of what it is and the negative repercussions that it can have on their health. What is obvious to me is that there are many people who cannot afford to buy food grown without pesticides and as a result they are forced to buy GM. And not only do the aforementioned people have to assume the risks of consuming food potentially dangerous but also have to receive critique for acquiring that kind of food. It seems to me that some of the people who buy GM look down on those who cannot afford it, instead of being more compassionate for those with lesser resources. Genetically modified food is relatively recent and the consequences of consuming it are still unkown, but many people do not want to add one more risk to their lives. It is a fact that genetically modified food is in the market because of the food industry´s interest. It is potentially harmful and the side effects are not still known. We must not forget that the use of genetically modified seeds, pesticides and other varieties of poison puts also at risk our environment. It is necessary to take into account that animals and plants are going to suffer the pernicious effects of polluting their environment with a vast array of pestices and seeds potentially dangerous. To conclude, it would be desirable that GM would be forbidden. In addition, if organic food becomes mainstream, there is no doubt that there will be a drop in prices that will allow everybody to buy it
