GM food

These days, the question of GM food causes a lot of controversy. Some people claim that it has many benefits, while others argue that such food can be harmful.
From my point of view, GM food has more disadvantages than advantages. Firstly, introducing a gene into a plant may create a new allergen. It means our range of food choices may be lessened. Secondly, GM food could be toxic to some organisms, which can lead to a decrease in population or even extinction. Thirdly, GM food can create new diseases, considering that such food is modified using viruses and bacteria.
On the contrary, some people think that GM food is good for humanity. GM plants are more resilient to bad weather conditions which ensures good yields, causing food prices to go down. Moreover, GM crops are good to the environment through a reduction in the use of pesticides.
Nevertheless, I still believe that GM food is harmful. It contains several kinds of substances that are little known and can be dangerous for humans and the environment. Anyway, we should not replace high-quality food with cheaper food, yet harmful to our health.
To sum it up, the question about GM food always brings up many opinions. I think
there is nothing good about such food, but everyone can choose what is best for him or her.
