Do we need to change our food?

Nowadays people are getting more and more concerned about the food they eat as it is closely connected with the way they look and feel. So, let's discuss if GM food is dangerous to our health or not.

What does genetically modified food mean? Genetically modified crops have been developed by changing the plant's genetic structure in order to help the plant resist against different diseases or produce larger crops. Undoubtedly, GM food has negative influence on our health because it isn't grown in a natural way. Furthermore, possible side effects connected with the use of GM products have not been studied yet and that is why we can't judge about the safety of these products.

However, a lot of people are not worried about the negative influence of GM food on their health. Besides, producers of this food say that it has a number of advantages in terms of price, durability and nutritional value. They also persuade people that there is no risk to human health and many of them believe to producers. Other reason of using GM food is that sometimes harvest doesn't successful and that is why there is less food. And so people are forced to use GM food as there is a little amount of food.

In conclusion I would like to say that we have compared two aspects of genetically modified food. We have discussed all advantages and disadvantages. From my point of view, every person should decide it for himself whether to buy genetically modified food or not.
