“Genetically modified organisms” (GMOs), “genetically engineered” (GE) and “genetically modified” (GM) food are plants or animals whose genes have been artificially tampered with in a laboratory. The science is collectively called “transgenics”. Genes from bacteria, insects, unrelated plants or animals – even humans - are used to make new plants or animals. Depending on the purpose, these new organisms may produce pesticides, drugs, or other substances, such as cows being genetically engineered to produce human breast milk. Currently, the most common GM trait is to create a plant that can survive being sprayed with large amounts of herbicides, such as the “RoundUp Ready” line of soybeans, sugar beets, and cotton. Many of these GMOs are currently in our food supply, even though the American public has demonstrated reluctance to eat them when given the choice. Is genetic engineering different from plant or animal breeding?
Almost certainly. Are GMOs safe to eat? Yes.
