2.  Genetically modified foods are foods derived
from genetically modified organisms (GMOs),
specifically, genetically modified crops. GMOs have
had specific changes introduced into their DNA
by genetic engineering techniques. These
techniques are much more
precise than mutagenesis (mutation breeding)
where an organism is exposed to radiation or
chemicals to create a non-specific but stable
change.

3.  GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are
plants or animals created through the gene
splicing techniques of biotechnology (also called
genetic engineering, or GE). This experimental
technology merges DNA from different species,
creating unstable combinations of plant, animal,
bacterial and viral genes that cannot occur in
nature or in traditional crossbreeding.

4.  More informed customers, because they need to
make more informed decisions in regard to
nutrition, agriculture and science.
 Less pesticide is needed to be used due to insect pest
resistant plants.
 More economically friendly as pesticides do not go
into the air, soil, and water (especially freshwater
supplies). Their production hazards to the
environment also decreases.

5.  Decrease in costs of growing and farming, due to
the reduced use of pesticides.
 Higher crop yields.
 Less starvation in the world due to decreased food
prices.
 More nutritious. This has been proven and tested
many times.

6.  Harm to other organisms. For example genes and
their effect included in a crop may turn out to be
poisonous to insects.
 Taste of GMOs are not as good or "natural".
 Spread of new, more resistant "super weeds
 Spread of new, more resistant "super pests".

7.  Possible damages to the environment.
 Possible creation of new kinds of weapons; genetic
food and beverage weapons.
 Allergies may become more intense, and also, new
allergy types may develop.
 Critics say GMOs may cause health problems.
