Very few studies have been conducted to determine the long-term health implications of genetically engineered foods. The ecology is at risk as well. Many people have heard news reports that genetically mutated corn may be deadly to Monarch butterflies. Ecologists also say that GE food may be linked to genetic contamination of the environment, herbicide resistance and risks to biodiversity. For more details on environmental issues Q. I've heard that genetically engineered foods can feed the world and save the environment.
Any reasonable person wants to see the world fed and the environment saved.
Unfortunately, they are not the panaceas their manufacturers make them out to be. Biotech companies have spent millions of dollars on a marketing campaign to give genetically engineered foods a friendly face. Feeding the world and saving the environment are two cornerstones of their PR spin. If the biotech companies were serious about trying to feed the world, they wouldn't come up with hugely unpopular campaigns such as the terminator seed, a diabolical agricultural invention that would prevent farmers from saving seed from one harvest to the next. Biotech companies also like to boast that they are saving the environment.
