GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are
organisms (plants or animals) whose
genetic make up (DNA)has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally.
In the last decades, GMO crops have become more
and more prevalent; however this topic is far from being consensual. Although some people consider that GMOs can help
produce more food for the world’s booming population, others claim that they
might have a negative impact on the environment and other living organisms.
While some scientists think that the use of biotechnologies to produce food is
quite safe, others fear that the comsumption of trangenic foods can have bad effects on human health.
One way or the other, there’s no doubt that
strict regulation is necessary. Moreover, food labelling should be widely required because consumers
should have the right to know what they are eating and to decide what they want
on or off their plate.
