GMO Essay Have you ever thought about what our foods contain in them? Some of our foods contain genetically modified organisms, also commonly known as GMOs. “Most American crops are now genetically modified and the GMO’s percentage in our food supply is growing extremely rapidly”, stated by Dr. Keith Kantor(GMO’sPros and Cons). GMOs were created in order to create a larger food supply, help countries with a low food production rate, and to assist farmers. Like all things, GMO’s also have negatives to them but overall they are beneficial to the world.

Countries that are underdeveloped pay to have seeds specialized to survive in certain malnourished areas. GMOs also have become attracted by farmers because of their specialization and influences on their crops. Farmers from all countries benefit greatly; their crops grow more nutritious, and last longer, which is an increase to food supply.
