Conclusion

Introduction

GM foods, or genetically modified foods, are foods that have been genetically altered through biotechnology to enhance their characteristics, such as improving their resistance to pests or increasing their nutritional value. This is done by introducing genetic material from other organisms into the food's DNA, resulting in a modified version of the original food. Some examples of GM foods include genetically modified corn, soybeans, and tomatoes. GM foods have been a topic of debate regarding their potential benefits and risks to human health and the environment.

Argument for

1. -Extreme weather resistance: genetically modified food crops can be cultivated in locations with less favorable climatic conditions and usually improves the yields of foods, which tend to grow more quickly than the normal ones.
2. -Increased levels of specific nutrients in food crops by genetic engineering. The study of this technique is quite advanced.
3. -Genes encoded for viral or bacterial antigens which can be genetically transcribed and translated into plant cells. Antibodies are often produced in response to the introduction of antigens.
4. Also, there is a scientific consensus that currently available food derived from GM crops poses no greater risk to human health than conventional food, but that each GM food needs to be tested on a case-by-case basis before introduction.

Argument against

1. ENVIRONMENTAL RISK GMOs are a serious risk to the environment. Their seeds travel well beyond fields where they are grown. Cross-pollination creates herbicide-resistant “super weeds” that threaten other crops and wild plants. 2. BIG BUSINESS EATS SMALL FARMERS Farmers hooked on biotech crops are at the mercy of companies that own the patents on seeds and set the prices. 3. REMEMBER WHEN CIGARETTES WERE ‘HARMLESS’? Nobody knows the long-term effects. 4. NOTHING TASTES BETTER THAN NATURE Natural food tastes better and is better for you. We want apples that taste like apples, not artificially sweetened super apples. And we want the variety of products that come to us from nature.

1. Do you think that gm food will replace normal food in the future?

2. Do you think GMO are good or bad?

3. Have you ever tried a GM food?

Conclusion

In conclusion, the GMOs have an admirable technical advantage over their natural counterparts, including the possibility of curing hunger in developing countries, and even now represent few health problems for humans, they are far from being perfect also, their process of development and the ways in which their implementation is carried out today is not the most preferable,both because they still represent a small risk to human health and the environment. It is not possible to make a global generalization in health, since each product must be studied one by one rigorously in terms of the final product.
