A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are generally known as recombinant DNA technology. With recombinant DNA technology, DNA molecules from different sources are combined in vitro into one molecule to create a new gene. This DNA is then transferred into an organism and causes the expression of modified or novel traits.

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods produced from GMO that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. The most common modified foods are derived from plants: soybean, corn, canola cotton seed oil and wheat.

We Need to Feed the World; So Why do Environmentalists Attack GMO Foods?  

Have you ever considered that right now there is a great shortage of food for the support of the Third World nations and the deficit will always graer, not only because of the more mouths to feed and transport costs, but also because it really a shortage of food. Recently, this was our online Think Tank.

A student studying at the University of Colorado pointed out that the Windows or World Food Program, such as the United Nations and other key NGOs had a shortage of food, and they willingly donated their $ 10 monthly money for the cause. The questions are, in fact, the dire. We need genetically modified food, feed in the Third World. GM foods have less waste in shipping and graere yields in the areas. Without that edge, we can still Feed the World?

After everything we need to Feed the World, so why do environmentalists attack GM foods? Now they believe that they, "unnatural, minimally nutritious, and some studies have tried, some GM foods to various diseases."

Some people not eat genetically modified foods, and the EU will not allow them to be sold. Some fair criticism was issued, and that is that we do not know the full results of the GM Crops yet and therefore we need to know more before we start feeding in the world. Yes, but if we wait, and the food shortages grow, more people (people) will in fact starve to death, that's not a good thing.

So our online think tank, the debate on both sides of this issue rather vigorously until we Today let people starve to save them from possibly a potential case some time in the far distant future? I hope that this article is of interest, and that is it was conceived. The goal is simply to help you in your search for the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on various topics that interest you.
