Statement
Genetically modified crops and food are not only harmful to the human body but also to the environment and the economy. Genetically modified food has unknown risks to the human health, which makes it a hazard. It is a major concern that these food products are introducing foreign genes into the human body because the effects of these foreign genes on the human body is unknown. Genetically modified foods have also led to the production of new allergens which have led to people developing severe allergies to foods such as peanuts. Genetically modified foods have also had a negative effect on the environment. It is predicted that the effectiveness of pesticides will decrease overtimes. There is also a concern that there will be gene transfer to other organisms than the target species. These organisms also need an increased amount of pesticides which harms other organisms that are not modified genetically. Lastly, the use of genetically modified crops has had a negative impact on the economy. The seed companies that make the genetically modified seeds have been putting small famers out of business. Large seed companies have been suing the small farmers for having genetically modified crops in their fields. Genetically modified foods are detrimental to humans, the environment, and the economy.
