GM foods are brilliant. WOOOOOO!
Genetically modified foods cannot be collectively put into a "good" or a "bad" category. Depending on how they are modified, they may be very good for us, very bad for us, or anywhere in between.
i WAS HERE
1994 - the FlavrSavr transgenic tomato was legalised by the US to be commercially sold. After that, a lot of GM foods were legalised

The availability of GM (genetically modified) food available depends on where you live. In some parts of the world, GM foods are banned for human consumption. In the US, most GM foods are considered by FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to be equivalent in nutritional value and safey to their non-GM counterparts. Most foods made in the US that contain soy, corn, or canola oil contain GMOs (genetically modified organisms), and you can't be sure unless the label says they DON'T contain these, because there is no rule to ensure GMO containing foods are labeled as such in the US (GMO labeling is voluntary in US). Some GM zucchini, apples, papayas, sugar beets, and milk are sold in supermarkets. In fact, it is hard to know which foods have GMO's and which do not, in the US.
Your moms
GM food can be found at some of your local markets and at any time of the year but before you buy it i would like to let you know that GM foods can cause allergic reactions and can be poisinous.
The terminally ill are unlikely to be worried about the possible long term side-effects of gm foods. The elderly may also not be too concerned. Young children are unlikely to be concerned about gm foods. And most scientists are also unlikely to be concerned (the safety record of gm foods is pretty good).
Because the company which controls most GM foods will not allow independent testing of their products.
Some of it is, particularly in the US. This is good because GM corn such as the Bt variety will have fewer bug parts in it.
YES
Genetically modified(GM)organisms are those organisms whose DNA, or genetic material has been altered through modern biotechnology whereas GM foods are those from genetically engineered crops.
Comfort foods are foods that make us feel good. Perhaps they remind us of childhood favorites. For some of us, these might be foods like macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, or chicken noodle soup.
