Best Answer

Genetically modified(gm) food is advantageous because the crops can be made to produce their own pesticides, grow larger amounts of food product per acre, or otherwise be advanced. On the downside, the modifications that have been spliced into the genes rarely stay for more than a single generation. Farmers can not save seed for the next year and must pay the owner of the genetic pattern for every crop's seeds. An additional point against gm food lies in fears, often considered unfounded due to FDA regulations, that declare gm food to affect people differently because of the unnatural alterations.
