Almost all of the food we eat is genetically modified, originally by selective breeding and recently, in addition, by direct manipulation of DNA.
Genetic modification can make food more abundant, more nutritious, more resistant to disease, more tolerant of harsh environmental conditions, and easier to pack and ship. It can also render the modified plants sterile so farmers cannot plant their seeds and must buy new seeds every year from the manufacturer.
Here are a few notable quotes on genetically modified food: “Genetically modified foods are a way to produce more food with less land, water, and energy.” – Anonymous “The science of genetics is a tool that can help us feed the world, but it must be used responsibly.” – Anonymous “We need to have an honest conversation about the implications of genetically modified food and its role in sustainable agriculture.” – Anonymous These quotes reflect the ongoing debate about the benefits and concerns surrounding GMOs.
in some ways yes but not if your used to eating normal everyday food in life
You would have to speak directly to farmers to get their reactions to genetically modified food, but it is likely that if it makes them more profits with less effort, they like it in that respect.

technology has helped us to grow more foods we can get a large quantity of food from a specific area than in old times quality of food is more better and its hygienic. genetically modified food is the best example of technology.
The world's first genetically engineered pharmaceutical product was Humulin, approved by the FDA in 1982. Humulin is a synthetic form of human insulin that is produced using genetically modified bacteria to help manage diabetes.
It is important to consider the benefits and risks of genetically modified organisms in agriculture because they can help increase crop yields, reduce the need for pesticides, and improve food security. However, there are concerns about potential environmental impacts, effects on human health, and ethical considerations that need to be carefully evaluated.
Genetically modified crops are made in order to make a desired trait, such as high yield, disease resistance, large fruit etc. more pronounced and/or undesired traits, such as toxins and large seeds...

In the US, the Environmental Protection Agency takes the lead for regulation of genetically modified foods, with help from the Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration, and many different universities.
