Genetically Modified Foods

“Roses are no longer crossed with just roses. They are mated with pigs, tomatoes with

oaks…orchids with snakes.”

Genetically Modified foods are, crop plants created for human or animal consumption

using the latest molecular biology. Also, they have BOTH plant and animal genes inserted

into them.

Labels

Gm foods are genetically modified foods that have both animal and plant genes inserted into them. They produce harmful effects on the environment, humans, economy and their genes are not perfect. To stop the hazardous effects, people need to be educated on GM foods and products with GM foods in them need to be labeled.
