Differences between g m food and normal food?

Answer 1

GM food is genetically modified food. It is also referred to as genetically engineered, gmo, or ge food.

The changes made to the plants or the seeds are done by scientists. These changes are made right to the DNA of organism thus altering the genetic blueprint. These altered plants are man's doing. They are not result of evolution or 'survival of the fittest'. These mutations can then spread to other plants contaminating them.

Normal food would be food that does not have any genetic engineered ingredients. However, it is important to note that labeling is not mandatory of ge foods. And that it is estimated that 70% of processed foods in North America contain ge ingredients. The exact figures may not be determined because food manufacturers may not know when they are buying gm food ingredients.

Organic food production does not permit gm food. This may be your best choice in avoiding gm food. Another method, is to remove processed foods from your diet.

Answer 2

Genetically modified (GM) foods are produced from organisms that have had changes introduced into their DNA using biotechnology, while normal foods are those that have been naturally bred or grown without genetic modification. GM foods can have traits such as resistance to pests or herbicides, while conventional foods do not have these engineered traits. However, concerns exist regarding the potential health and environmental impacts of GM foods compared to normal foods.
