genetically egineered food is food that has been modfied to help human benefits like sweeter strawberries and allgren free peanuts heathier french fries. Also known as genetically modified food (GM). You may not know this but this has been happening sense 2000. Without you even knowing how that be.

Genetically modified crops are crops with plants that have been genetically altered in order to increase the yield of the crop. For example, the plant may have been genetically altered to become bigger or more resistant to bugs.
not
Much of the corn and soybeans grown in Iowa are genetically modified (GM). Very little of any of the other crops have any significant modification done to them.
A lot of people are against genetically modified crops being grown because of potential negative health effects. The effects of altering crops genetically are also not known due to the process being relatively new.
Bioengineered crops and genetically modified (GM) crops often refer to similar concepts, but there are subtle distinctions. Bioengineered crops are those that have been altered using biotechnology techniques, which may include methods like gene editing. In contrast, genetically modified crops typically refer to those that have had specific genes inserted or modified using traditional GM techniques. Essentially, all bioengineered crops can be considered genetically modified, but not all genetically modified crops fall under the broader category of bioengineering, as the latter encompasses a wider range of biotechnological innovations.
they can cause diseases in crops and animals
Genetically modified(GM)organisms are those organisms whose DNA, or genetic material has been altered through modern biotechnology whereas GM foods are those from genetically engineered crops.
Crops which have been genetically modified to resist the effects of glyphosate, a commonly used herbicide (Roundup is the most common trade name).
It is not likely that they will.
One problem GMO crops pose for farmers who do not grow them is cross pollination of GMOs in non-GMO crops, especially those that are grown organically.
Some disadvantages of growing genetically modified crops include potential harm to non-target organisms, reduced biodiversity, development of resistance in pests and weeds, and uncertainty about long-term environmental and health effects.
