Genetically modified food gets a really bad reputation in today’s society. People obsessed with eating only healthy foods (which most of the times becomes a concern that everyone else be forced to eat healthy foods), have been trending more towards “organic” and “natural” foods over the last few years. I am fully aware of the dangers of overly processed foods, but we aren’t living in Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. While natural foods offer a variety of benefits, they also contain a boatload of dangers.
Genetic modification of plants and animals creates higher yields and less chance of illness. Unfortunately the concern over “organic” foods has shifted from a genuine health concern to advertising manipulation.
I wholeheartedly enjoy genetically modified food, except for the fact that I can’t win watermelon seed spitting contests.
