Who benefits from genetical modified foods?

Answer 1

Some say science shows that GMO foods have no bad effects on human health. Others say the effects they have on human health have not been determined, and that there is reason to believe they have detrimental effects to health. The truth is that the effects that GMO foods have on health, good or bad, are probably not known.

Answer 2

Genetically modified food, sometimes called Round-Up Ready, has been genetically modified to accept certain pesticides better (Monsanto's Round Up, for example). It is not of greater nutritional value, it does not grow better, it does not grow faster, and it does not resist bugs better. It merely accepts pesticides better meaning you can use less. If your neighbor grows GMF and it spreads to your fields (by wind or bug or whatever), you will be charged a fee for having it in your field. Also whether or not the food is safe in humans has not been determined by any long-term studies. Who does it effect? Potentially everyone because once that genie is out of the bottle, there is no telling what long-term effects it will have on us or the environment.

Answer 3

The ones who benefit from GMO foods are the corporations that develop them. Farmers benefit for the first few years they plant them, but may not after that. Food companies may benefit from them, depending on their cost. There is no evidence that consumers benefit from them, since they have been shown to have any greater nutritional benefit than non-GMO foods and it is hotly debated whether they may be harmful to health of people.

Answer 4

Genetically modified foods are beneficial to the companies that create and patent GMO varieties, and evidently to farmers who grow GMO crops and companies who use GMO ingredients in their foods. Since there were no long-term human studies done before GMO foods were approved for commercial sales, it is not known how beneficial, if at all, GMO foods are to human health.
