Do people urgently need genetically modified food regardless what some scientists say about its harmful effects?
No, people do not urgently need genetically modified food, especially since some scientists question its safety.
What are the names of some documentary films about genetically modified foods?
One of the most known documentary on genetically modified food is Panacea or Poison. Another film that is more of an "internet sensation" than an actual film is "Controlling Our Food".
How do Schneider and Schneider define genetically modified foods?
They explain what a genetically modified food is this way: "A genetically modified (GM) food or genetically modified organism (GMO) results from the use of recombinant DNA biotechnological procedures that allow the genetic makeup of a food or organism to be altered in some way. This 'recombination' can be accomplished by moving genes from one organism to another or by changing genes in an organism that are already present. These changes result in the expression of attributes not found in the original organism."
What does the term GM products mean?
GM = Genetically Modified. It means that the genes of the species have been modified, usually by introducing a gene from some other species.GM = Genetically Modified.

Does Genetically modified food help strike hunger?
in some ways yes but not if your used to eating normal everyday food in life
Name some foods that are eaten as a result of technological engineering?
Protein-rich food supplement. Genetically-modified corn.
Is genetically modified food safe?
The Government would have us believe so. Do some research and form your own conclusions.
What are the disadvantage of growing genetically modified crops?
The only proven disadvantage to genetically modified (GM) crops is that some people have shown an alleregic reaction.
What are the top 3 genetically modified food?
Three foods that have been genetically engineered are corn, soy, and canola. It is possible that some fruits and vegetables have been genetically engineered using a slightly different method than ones we hear about.
What are some issues regarding genetically modified organisims and genetically modified foods?
Issue one: may damage to ecology. Issue two: controversy over the use
What effect does genetically modified food have on your genes?
Some argue that genetically modified food has no effects on human or animal genes. They also argue that GMO foods are the same as any other foods and have no negative health effects at all. Others argue that they might cause changes to our genes, and that they do cause changes to the flora in our intestines, possible sterilization, and other health issues. The FDA has declared then to be "substantially equivalent" to non GMO foods. In reality, we just do not know what effects genetically modified food have on our health or our genes.
What is genetic modified foods?
Genetically modified food can also be achieved by altering their DNA (or genes) by genetic engineering techniques. This usually involves inserting a gene into the organisms' DNA to create a certain trait. For example, some corn crops have been genetically modified so that they become more resistant to herbicides and insect pests. In most countries Genetically Modified foods (GM) as well as foods containing GM source foods have to be labelled by law, giving consumers the choice to use them or not. Agriculturally speaking the opposite of GM foods are "Organic" crops.
