Would you eat green carrots‚ or orange cabbage? Nowadays genetic engineering is interfering with more than just size. Genetic engineering is harmful‚ dangerous and also helpful. Genetic engineering in food began with rice. Rice didn’t contain very much vitamin A‚ and in the poorer parts of Asia‚ where rice is almost the only food the rural population have the lack of vitamin A lead to early blindness. Two genetic engineers by the names Drs. Ingo Potrykus and Peter Beyer transferred the genes

While microbes are often viewed negatively due to their association with many human illnesses‚ microbes are also responsible for many beneficial processes such as industrial fermentation (e.g. the production of alcohol and dairy products)‚ antibiotic production and as vehicles for cloning in higher organisms such as plants. Scientists have also exploited their knowledge of microbes to produce biotechnologically important enzymes such as Taq polymerase‚ reporter genes for use in other genetic systems
