Paragraph 1 wheat would not be autorized if it were bad for humans since 7500 years ago.

Paragraph 2 High yields plants and insectes resistance plants attract each other and they mix the gene but it takes time because engineers can not introduce plants.

Paragraph 3 Genetic engineers help plant breeders to speed up the breeding programme process and make sure that genes are in the right place.

Paragraph 4 In the nature, genes always jump all over the place. The genes that are introduced into plants, improve productivity of a crop and decrease dependency on chemical pesticides and herbicides.

Paragraph 5 Sometimes is good to look at the good side of this process. The GM crops in the pipline,have more advantages and they protect Asian children from going blind.

Paragraph 6 There is no such thing as safe food but it is important how to use the food. The only safe food we can get is the one that is treated as if it was toxins.
Paragraph 7
Animals can not die from eating GM crops. GM crops can only kill some insects which are sensitive to extra proteines.


Paragraph 8
GM crops are not the only answer to food shortages but we also can do other stuff to feed right people in Africa. We can build roads and rails to transport the food and eliminate wars.
