Extract

Genetically engineered foods (GEFs) are a very controversial topic. Some think genetically modified foods better our society by providing pest, herbicide, disease, cold, and drought resistance. Nutrition and pharmaceuticals can also be added to the crops. Others think we're better without them. Genetically engineered foods greatly threaten the environment and its species. There are many economic concerns and unknown effects of crops. Although genetically engineered foods have many benefits, the potential damage they do still outweighs the benefits.
