Genetically modified foods hold promise to end the worlds hunger problems. The catch is that there may be health risks associated with these foods. Long term testing has not been done to see the effects and they could be very damaging to ones health in the long run. These foods are genetically modified to have higher crop yield and resistance to disease and pests.
While GM crops could help the food crisis some think that its not the amount of food that's the problem but, rather that food distribution and politics are to blame.
I believe that GM foods are a viable option for solving the growing food crisis but, we should be careful that we don't modify too much that we endanger our health. This is hard to do for people strapped for money and can't afford organic foods void of genetic modification.
