Genetically modified food or crops are plants that have been modified using genetic engineering techniques. Examples of GMOs include adding genes to certain crops to make them immune to insects or environmental conditions. Proponents of a GMO ban argue that their existence might have unintended effects on agricultural ecosystems including bees and other animals which depend on native crops for their survival. Opponents of a ban argue that the development GMOs has resulted in cheaper food being produced more quickly, in greater quantities, and with less calories and fat.

This is a difficult question. Food production / security is key and GMOs help to secure it. However, there are always consequences of change including costs for farmers if purely left to large companies.
@9ZHHRQC3mos3MO
Yes, provided there are government regulations for how crops and foods can be modified, along with labelling of modified foods that includes how and why the specific foods in question have been modified.
@9ZCTZV63mos3MO
Yes, but only if the food is clearly labelled as a gmo, when it's nutrient value and overall quality is at least as beneficial as its non altered counterpart, and when it has been proven that the specific alteration will cause no harm to us.
@9K69C7212mos12MO
no i dont support this as GMO crops and foods have MRNa and turbo cancers that are desinged specifically for population redution
@9HBTP3F1yr1Y
Only for cisgenic breeding or those which could have been accomplished through conventional methods.
@9H76M6G1yr1Y
In terms of helping people who struggle with the intake of certain foods and vitamins and stuff, yes. Both be nice to nature and don't replace everything
@978QXVS2yrs2Y
Yes but the process should be regulated to prevent invasive species.
@beauchurley3yrs3Y
Yes, but never as a complete replacement for organic, only with full labeling transparency, and no patents on seeds.
