Genetic Modification (GM) or Genetic Engineering (GE) is the process of manipulating genomes from an organism‚ such as plants and animals‚ to another using the techniques of biotechnology. Genetic modified foods are created from the procedures of genetic engineering and play an important role in the society’s lifestyle. GM foods can be both beneficial and disadvantageous to the society and environment. It can be advantageous as it can improve agricultural production‚ help improve nutrition in the

“Labeling of Genetically Modified Food Products” Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs were first introduced into Americas’ food supply in 1996‚ and there were 7 million acres of crops worldwide that were using GMO seeds. As of 2004‚ the crop size worldwide that uses GMO seeds had grown to 222 million acres with approximately 63% of those in the United States alone (253). As of 2008‚ more than 90 percent of soy crops and 75 percent of corn in the United States were raised from genetically modified seeds

The advantages of the Genetically Modified Foods What are genetically-modified foods? The term GM foods or GMOs (genetically-modified organisms) is most commonly used to refer to crop plants created for human or animal consumption using the latest molecu- lar biology techniques. These plants have been modified in the laboratory to enhance de- sired traits such as increased resistance to herbicides or improved nutritional content. The enhancement of desired traits has traditionally been
