Why do people prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered?
Because the long term affects of eating genetically engineered plants are unknown.
What do you call an organism with spliced DNA?
An organism that is produced through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO). Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982 and genetically modified food has been sold since 1994. Genetic engineering is also called genetic modification. There is a worry among the public that eating genetically modified food may be harmful but scientific agreement is that these crops are no greater risk to human health than conventional food.
Why do some people prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered?
People have genetically modified foods to make them more insect-repellant, to give higher crop yields, to give products with more appealing qualities (flavour, texture, shelf life); this provides benefits for both producer and consumer. Some crop have been modified to be resistant to certain brands of herbicides, so that the plants are not affected when the farmer sprays the area for weeds (see the Monsanto website). Other modifications take the form of plants that are modified to be resistant to saline soils, or drought conditions. These benefits can increase the yields of crops in poorer or arid parts of the world which are normally susceptible to food shortages.

What are some possible benefits of eating genetically engineered foods?
No benefits of eating GMO foods are known.
Does Genetically modified food help strike hunger?
in some ways yes but not if your used to eating normal everyday food in life
How do GMOs affect food?
GMO foods are basically the same as non-GMO foods except that they contain ingredients that have been genetically engineered. Basically, that is the process of removing a gene from one species (often a bacteria) and inserting it into another species (often corn or soy). The technology is relatively young and the effects of eating GMO foods has not been determined.
The bulk of genetically modified organisms used in agriculture are called what?
These are usually called GMOs. An organism that is produced through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO).Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982 and genetically modified food has been sold since 1994. Genetic engineering is also called genetic modification.While there is a worry among the public that eating genetically modified food may be harmful but scientific agreement is that these crops are no greater risk to human health than conventional food.

What beneficial substances are produced by bacteria the large intestine?
Bacteria in the large intestine can produce important vitamins for the body. For example, some bacteria produce vitamin K from eating fiber. Some bacteria also produce vitamin D.
What are people doing to stop genetic engineering?
Many action groups are campaigning to stop genetic engineering. In many countries, genetically engineered foods are widespread and consumers have no way of knowing that they're eating GMOs (genetically modified foods). The USA is one of those countries. The institute of Responsible Technology is working hard to change things.
During the pas decade have the US been eating many genetic modified foods?
Probably. Because genetically modified foods (GMO) are not required to be labeled as such, it is difficult to know for certain. But it is very likely that food staples produced by huge corporations such as Monsanto or Cargil are genetically modified. I suspect most of the corn, soybeans and wheat produced in the U.S. are GMO.
