Genetically Modified Food Case Study

Many people consume engineered foods; particularly the North America and China. GMFs (Genetically Modified Food) have faced strong opposition. The anti-GMFs argue that modification of original organism composition does not improve the current status of the organisms. However, it generates dangerous side effects and yields toxic substances that could result in allergies, stomach problems, diseases and economic and environmental fears. People concern on the safety of food became pronounced before the commencement of GMFs in the 1990s. The specific target was the genetically engineered foods. Studies show that eating genetically modified foods is harmful; however, there is little scientific evidence that connects the GMOs and the alleged adverse
The use of animals' genes into processing plant foods often leads to the philosophical, religious and ethical concerns. The studies indicate that genetically modifying the animals can adversely affect them. For instance, according to a writer at Global Research outlines the main reason for honeybees’ death. He stated that when plants are genetically modified, this results in modification of its chemical composition and eventually its flower pollen grains. The modified pollen grains then become sterilized. This situation malnourished the bees and finally die due to the paucity of required nutrients. Besides, their digestive capacities are interrupted due to insufficient pollen in their digestive system (Sustein
The dangers of pointed out the individuals who are opposed always remain theoretical. According to the U.S FDA, there is no adverse reaction that has been identified in genetically modified foods. The survey conducted by the Pew Initiative on the Biotechnology and Food showed that people attitude towards the genetically modified has increased from twenty-seven to thirty percent. The powerful nations that support the GM foods have boosted its acceptance in different countries in the world. A number of scholars have rallied behind the use of GM foods. They include; Nobel Prize winner, Norman Borlaug, Henry Miller, Rebecca Goldburg and others. According to Henry Miller, the transfer of the genes from one organism to another was something that have been taking place for about forty years and the results showed that there was low risks with the process. He argued that the claim that the genetically engineering foods are dangerous is a big lie and it is the fear of new
