Modified Foods

Jurassic Park!
Genetically Modified Food!
I disagree with genetically modified foods because it is not right for scientist to mess with the natural genes of plants and animals. I don’t think it is appropriate for scientists to interfere when humans have survived perfectly fine before they started to modified food. I know scientists are just trying to improve the world’s food supply but there is simply no need for it. It’s also very dangerous to modify the foods e.g. if scientists use fish genes in tomatoes to protect the tomatoes from frost, the consumer might have an allergy to fish and could have an allergic reaction to the tomato. It is not right for scientist to modify years of natural development for basically no reason at all, and there are only a very few amount who would prefer genetically modified foods over natural food, so it would not be a big loss if they stopped modifying foods.

  1. You have some great examples in there. Also you have a lot of good reasons to support your argument. Just make sure you proof read you work (:
