1 Probably the most important food issue is genetically modified food, or GM food. It is food for whid
scientists we genetic material (DNA) from one species and put a isto another species. The main cima
this is to boost food production GM salmon, for example, are now produced on some fish farms. The
grow more quiculty than Faura salmod, and also reach a much greater size
2 When GM food first appeared, many people were enthusiastic about it. Some govertudents stated the
it was safe, and supported research into GM technology. Many big corporations said that GM food
would solve the world's food problems.
3 But public opposition to GM foods soon began to grow. As a result, many large stores in the UK
started to remove GM products from their shelves. Concerns increased further when it was found the
caterpillars of butterflies were being poisoned by GM maize. This made consumers all the more
worried. Mos GM crops are grown in open fields. It means that wind, raio, birds and insects can all
carry the seeds to fields where ordinary crops are grown. Thus no crop, organic or GM, grow
the open could be safe.
4 Then there were reports of individuals being affected by GM foods. It was found that soyabeans containing
genetic material from e Braal but made several people ill. These people were allergic to nuts, and because
of this, they fell ill after coosuming that particular type of GM soya bcan.
5 De Janet Gray, a retired agricultural scientist, says: 'I am personally in favour of organic methods. I like
eating tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes and don't contain boomoges or chemicals. And I don't
want them genetically modified I've seen GM tomatoes that are all identical all exactly the same size
and colour, available all the year round and they never go soft or get rotten. Some people think tut's
wonderful But I prefer nature's way - Lomatocs that grow a certain times of the year only, are no
always perfect but are real food."
6 De Gray says that the health effects of eating GM foods are not yet clear. No long-term safety tests
have been carried out and until that has been done, no one can guarantee that GM foods are safe.​
