GM foods = foods made from genetically modified organisms (GMO) in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally (e.g. tomatoes, corn, soya beans, etc.).
Why do you think GM foods are produced?
With a partner discuss the advantages and disadvantages of GM foods. Use the words and phrases below:
- nutritional value
- price
- crop protection
- disease resistant
- unknown effects
- unnatural
- controversial
GM foods are produced to improve food quality and increase crop yields. They can have a higher nutritional value, a lower price, and better crop protection. Some GM crops are disease resistant, so they can grow more successfully.
At the same time, GM foods are often considered controversial. People worry about their unknown effects on health and the environment. Some also think they are unnatural.
