Here are a few notable quotes on genetically modified food:
These quotes reflect the ongoing debate about the benefits and concerns surrounding GMOs.
No, people do not urgently need genetically modified food, especially since some scientists question its safety.
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".
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."
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.

Doritos themselves are not classified as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Australia; however, some of the ingredients used in Doritos, such as corn, may come from genetically modified crops. In Australia, foods that contain GM ingredients must be labeled accordingly. Therefore, while the chips may include GMO-derived components, Doritos as a product are not inherently genetically modified.
in some ways yes but not if your used to eating normal everyday food in life
Protein-rich food supplement. Genetically-modified corn.
The Government would have us believe so. Do some research and form your own conclusions.
Some varieties of white corn have been genetically modified to enhance traits such as pest resistance or herbicide tolerance. It is important to check the labeling or contact the manufacturer if you are looking to avoid genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in your 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.
Issue one: may damage to ecology. Issue two: controversy over the use
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.
