Advantages and disadvantages to GM foods?

Answer 1

It may have unforeseen long term health effects, it may cross-pollinate other crops and mess with them, and it may be bad to change food from what God intended it to be.

Answer 2

Advantages: bigger fruits/vegetables. More vitamins can be added into the food. Can put in natural pesticides to stop bugs from spoiling the food. Plants can be engineered to grown anywhere, anytime.

Disadvantage: People say it's "not natural" therefore it can't be good for you. But that's personal opinion. There are much worse things for you that people do to themselves (ie: smoking)

However the use of GMOs in agriculture are a problem when it comes to sustainability and the environment. They are frequently engineered in such a way that they require more synthetic fertilizer, do not produce a seed for future crops and can contaminate organic crops, destroying their organic nature.

Answer 3

Some food staples, such as rice, contain more nutrients.
