Concerns of growing GM Foods

Alot of people have concerns over growing GM Foods regarding them growing out of control and being invincble. But alot of people also think that all that is a load of nonsense.

Here are few reasons people are concerns about growing GM Foods:

• They think that because they give then genes to make them grow in any condition that they will grow out of control and all year roung meaning there are to many crops.
• Some people think that because they give them genes to make them disease resistant that you wont be able to kill them if they get out of control.
• Some people even go as far as saying that they think one day the crops will grow so out of control they will take over the world (now that could happen but its not likely is it).

Why Do People Grow GM Foods?

People grow gm foods so that they get more crops, disease free crops and crops that will grow in any condition. People get alot of profit from growing gm crops because they can make them grow quicker than normal crops. They give alot more yeild. For example if you plant a normal potato you will get about 20 coming off it but if u plant a gm potato it will get about 30 potatos coming off it and they will all be the same size of potato and the same type of potato.

There is a down side of growing gm crops though and that is that you are basically tampering with nature when you do it and some people even think that the crops growth speed will get out of control and they will take over the earth as it is disease free. Also when you are making the plant disease free you are basically making the plants indistructable, resistant to plant killer.

What is GM Food I Hear You Wonder??

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods made from crops that have been given specific genes such as a strawberry that has been adapted to help it survive in cold climates such as england. GM foods have been around since the 1990's. Typical genetically modified foods are plant products such as soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil. Some genetically modified foods have had there colour change as shown on this green apple.

They have put a gene of a red apple into a green aplle and turned that half of the apple red.
