Genetically engineered food is produced from plants, animals and/ or microbes that have had their genetic code modified by the selective introduction of specific DNA segment through the use of gene spicing. Through this process, the organism acquires desirable traits such as pest protection, improved nutrition and herbicide resistance. The genetically modified organisms, plants in particular, are modified to increase yield therefore allowing farmers to produce more with fewer chemicals (Atreya, p. 94). As a result, this leads to a cleaner environment and cheaper food stuff for the people. However, the main debatable question on this topic is, how safe are ...
