Why do you need genetically modified food?
There is a lot of talk about how genetically modified food is needed, but no real evidence that it is needed.
How can GMOs affect allergies in people or animals?
GMOs (genetically modified food) may create allergies.
What can happen if you eat food that's not been genetically modified?
death. Nothing, food that hasn't been genetically modified is natural food. The kind of food people have been eating for thousands of years. Something is more likely to happen to you if you eat genetically modified food.
Why genetically modified food is required?
It isn't.
Is genetically modified food in Lebanon?
Yes
How was genetically modified food created?
Genetically modified food is created in a lab by removing a gene from one organism and forcing it into an organism of a different species.
What foods cannot be genetically modified?
Any food that comes from a plant, animal, or other living thing can be genetically modified.
What action has been taken to try and prevent genetically modified food technology developing?
No movement to try to prevent the development of genetically modified food technology is known. There are; however, people who choose not to eat food that is known to be genetically modified, due to questions about the health and environmental effects of genetically modifying plants used for food.
What does GMF stand for?
GMF = Genetically Modified Food
What are three foods that can be genetically modified?
Any food can be genetically modified through genetic engineering. Three foods that have been genetically engineered are corn, soy, and canola.
When did genetically modifying foods begin?
The first genetically modified food began in 1994. Scientist genetically modified a tomato which didn't ripen so quickly after it was picked.
What is the impact genetically modified food has on evolution?
[1] Genetically modified organisms can affect plant diversity. As with non-genetically modified plants, their seeds are easily spread by wild life and wind. Consequently, they contaminate non-genetically modified food products that are grown within the reach of air and critters. For their genetics tend to dominate over the genetics of non-genetically modified plants. [2] They also can affect individual plant responses. For the individual plant's genetics have been altered. And researchers don't yet have the complete map to the consequences, or plant responses to these consequences. It's a work in progress. And researchers as much as their plant subjects are making up the rules as they go along.
