Two benefits of GMOs foods are:
- Farmers do not have to be concerned about spraying herbicides on crops herbicide resistant crops. They just need to use the herbicide the crop is resistant to.
- Less insecticide is used on Bt varieties of GM crops due to the crop plant itself creating an insecticide within, saving farmers expenses.
Twp drawbacks to GMO foods:
- Large numbers of consumers do not want to eat foods containing GMOs, so they turned to organically-grown foods. Because of cross pollination with GMO crops while growing, even organic foods may contain small amounts of GMOs, so consumer choice is slowly being taken away.
- The level set as safe by the EPA for herbicides used on herbicide resistant varieties may be raised as more and more herbicide is used on GMO crops. This has already been done in the case of glyphosate (the active ingredient in Round-up). Its use doubled, and the level considered safe by the FDA in human foods also doubled.

Why is 'non-genetically modified whole soybeans' preferred as an ingredient for a food product?
In general, non-genetically modified foods of any type (including whole soybeans) are preferred to the their genetically modified counterparts because the long-term health effects of consuming genetically modified foods have not been properly documented yet. There may be unanticipated health risks with consuming certain genetically modified foods.
What are ge foods?
Genetically enhanced. Pretty much the same as genetically modified.
What foods cannot be genetically modified?
Any food that comes from a plant, animal, or other living thing can be genetically modified.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of genetically modified foods?
One of the disadvantages of the genetically modified foods is that it allows animal products in plants which could raise issues for those with dietary restrictions like the vegans. The advantage of the genetically modified foods is that they can increase the crop yield in a very small acreage.
Are organic foods geneticly modified?
Organically grown foods are not (trans)genetically modified, meaning they are not what is considered GMOs.
When did genetically modifying foods begin?
The first genetically modified food began in 1994. Scientist genetically modified a tomato which didn't ripen so quickly after it was picked.
Genetically altered foods can have benefits as well as risk?
Genetically altered foods can have benefits such as increased crop yields, resistance to pests or diseases, and enhanced nutritional content. However, there are also risks associated with genetically modified organisms (GMOs), including potential allergenic reactions, environmental impacts, and concerns about long-term health effects. It is important to consider both the potential benefits and risks when evaluating the use of genetically altered foods.
