Genetically Modified food should be banned. The most important reason for this is that we’re not sure if Genetically Modified food is harmful or not. Most scientists just say that Genetically Modified food hasn’t caused any diseases yet. However, they can’t say it’s safe to eat. Maybe there are some problems of eating it but we still don’t know. Also, some Genetically Modified food has fewer vitamins than natural food.
The second point is that Genetically Modified food may hurt the environment. For example, scientists give some vegetables genes that can help them survive after using herbicide. But the surprising thing is that some grasses also get those genes by accident. Special genes make them harder to be removed and easier to survive in difficult situations. When this type of grass thrives, it needs many nutrients to grow and natural plants will die because they can’t get enough nutrients.
Some people may say that there are many people dying because of hunger, and Genetically Modified food could solve this problem. It’s true that it may save life, however, it could also kill people. It sounds like quench a thirst with poison. On the contrary,
we can ban it now and wait for a while. Perhaps one day, scientists can give us a better solution.
