What is GE foods?

Question

Hi I just want some one to tell me what is GE foods. Thanks

Answer 1

genetically engineered.

Imagine this...an orange that contains all the nutrients in a multivitamin, a tomato with more flavor as well as cancer fighting substances, sweeter strawberries, a potato that produces healthier french fries, allergen-free peanuts, a rice high in beta-carotene as well as bananas that deliver needed vaccines.

Is this science fiction or real science?

It's real science and it is happening in laboratories today as genetically engineered foods. To many scientists this is a very exciting time to enter a new frontier called food biotechnology.




But now, what about fruits and vegetables that contain a gene from a bacterium that make these crops more insect resistant? Would you want to eat these foods? What if these crops found their way into our food supply right now? This actually happened in September 2000!

Many people are afraid of this new technology and are calling these new genetically modified foods 'Frankenstein' foods. Should we be concerned? Are these foods safe to eat? How would these new crops affect the environment? Are these genetically modified foods everything they promise to be by their proponents? Or are they something to fear according to several advocacy groups?

Answer 2
