Not all genetically modified organisms (GMO) that are used for food increase the food quality. Some GMOs are manipulated so as to be easier to grow. For example, genes may be inserted into plants...

There are two main reasons for which many people oppose the creation of genetically modified organisms (GMO) and their use in food. First, there are people who oppose these kinds of plants for...

The advantages associated with genetically-modified foods start at the farm, where genetically-engineered seeds are more resistant to diseases that can decimate crops -- a particularly important...

The creation of genetically modified organisms (GMO) is a very controversial subject today. The main pro to the creation of these organisms is that they are economically very beneficial. The main...

There are at least two ways to look at this question. First, we can say that the existence of genetically modified organisms (GMO) as crops is significant because of its potential positive...

First of all, please note that genetically modified organisms (GMO) are not banned in food in California. As this link will show, Californians rejected an initiative just this past November (of...

The most important debate point on the safety of genetically-modified foods is the nature of the sources. Most of the anti-GM voices from from fringe groups and untested theories; many of them...

There are many arguments that can be made in favor of the use of genetically modified foods. These sorts of foods can be very beneficial (one can argue) to us in both economic and environmental...
