personally I think that gm foods should be made extinct , yes they keep up with the growing population but couldnt we put more organic food farms up in place and couldnt we grow our own fruit and vegtables in our back gardens at least then we know were its all come from
The genes that are put in gm foods can transfer into humans and may harm us with eating these foods we may be harming not only us but the world
As these foods are mass produced the machinery that goes into the watering ,fertilising (ect.) these plants could be destroying he planet by all of the co2 emissions that are being let off when we could easily put abit of elbow grease in and there we are a mini supermarket in your own home. And on top of that theres always petrol to get the products to the shops itself and then most people drive a car to the supermarket aswell so theres more co2 and were all thinking why isnt the world already DEAD!!!
So i think gm foods should not be manufactured because of the main reasons up there and because of a lot more that ive found in doing this project

why are gm foods grown
gm foods are grown for financial gain as these crops are mass produced and as they have genes that protect it from harmful diseases, these crops are then sold in shops for a price.
Also it is used to keep up with the growing population as these crops are mass produced the sheer amount of these can mean that there will always be vegtables,fruit ect.
these foods are sometimes enriched with certain vitamins and minerals so they can be better for you.
these crops are also mass protected so they are protected against pests.

advantages and disadvantages of gm foods
right well....
advantages of GM foods are
they cope better with unnormal condtions or conditions that are unsuitable
produce more crops and a better yield
gm foods use less fertilisers and also less water
they have a better pest resistance
better herbicide tolerance
provides more food which in return feeds the growing population
disadvantages of gm foods are
there harmful to the enviroment
harmful to humans
make numbers of superweeds rise
these superweeds then take over fields and crops
genes from the gm foods may get onto pests they then are immune to the pesticides which means that strongers ones are needed which maybe really harmful
with all of these good points it seems that GM foods are the way forward but with all these bad points is it really worth the hassle?

Gm Foods
GM(Genetically Modified) foods-
These foods are or have been modified and artificially in laboratory's by scientists.
Before something would be breed or you would test different things and see how well they do , the thing that did well would be used again and again and again until the only thing left would be the thing that did well. Say if you wanted to breed bulldogs it is most likely people want them for looks and the more rings of fat they have the more better they are supposed to look as these dogs are usually on crufts dog show now, so to make more money people are breeding better dogs that people want for shows and now not many bulldogs are left that used to look like they did 20 years ago.
But now scientists have found a quicker and easier way to do this by injecting specific genes into the plant or animal instead of the trail and error process.
These foods and animals that have been genectically modified are put in shows all around the world, crufts for dogs , giantest vegtable and many other shows like this.
