ASSESSING SAFETY OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD Introduction Today we use food that come from plants and animal modified by human through breeding, undergoing genetic changes from many thousand years. Plants and animals which have desire characteristics were chosen for breeding new generation. Desired characteristics arose from naturally occurring variations in genes of plants and animals. Hence genetic modification occurs naturally and forms the base of evolution. Techniques used today to modify genes

Bad for humans-Bad for our environment GMO or otherwise known as genetically modified organism, is where genetic material (DNA) has been altered in such a way that does not occur naturally. This method is what some call “modern biotechnology”. This “modern biotechnology” is not natural, and in fact not safe for humans or our environment. These methods to genetically modify organisms are used to create GM plants, which are then used to grow GM food crops. Currently, 90% of US crops today are genetically
