Genetically Modified Food
It must be said that majority of those who are against Genetically Modified Foods(GM) are neither living in countries which suffer from food shortages, nor facing starvation. Many scientists believe that without GM foods, third world will never overcome its food problem.
At present, over one billion people live on less than one dollar a day.

The united states hopes that this number will be cut in half, within fifteen years. This will not happen if food continues to be produced in the conventional manner. Foods produced by traditional farming methods do not last very long and often spoil during transport.
Very often, food sent by the west to countries suffering from famine, rots before it reaches to its destination.
Now, scientists have found ways to preserve foods for much longer time.

For example, they have developed a preservative made from vitamins and minerals which keeps even cut fruit fresh for up to 10 days if refrigerated.
Despite of this, there are still people who believe agriculture research should be moving in a different direction.
They accept that there is no real proof that GM foods are dangerous. However, they believe that the solutions that GM foods provide are short term and that is necessary to find longer lasting and natural means to solve the worlds's food problems.
