Hello, i'm currently doing a Geography project on GM(genetically Modified) foods, Is GM food the solution to food shortage in the world? what are your views?

Basically, Genetically modified food are made from crops that have been given specific traits through genetic engineering.

Examples of genetically modified food, soybean resistant to herbicides by adding herbicide resistant genes found in bacteria.

Our aim is to collect YOUR views regarding this problem.

would you like your daily food to be like these

genetically modified strawberry

Even a single-lined view/comment would help. Thanks in advance for those who posted

i think i will consume gm food because some of us, have already eaten it in our daily life, then why not?

udontknowme SG

my view is that, whoever thinks that there is actually a solution to 'solving' the 'issue' of 'food shortage' needs to really look deeper into the problem and see if the 'root-causes' (hello colonization!) can be solved first. otherwise, no matter what you do, it won't work.

ok i will eat cos most of our food are already gentically modified such as soyabeans,corn,sugar cane...

i think GM food will take a longer time to process it however i guess the taste would be much much better than the orginal...

Firstly, the majority of soybeans imported into Singapore are Non-GMO. Only a very small quantity of soybeans coming in are GMO

Secondly there is no difference in taste between a GMO & Non-GMO food unless the variety has been specially bred to taste better

Thirdly pls search for the other GM thread that was posted and read why GMO food is really not as good as they want you to think it is.

The unequal distribution of wealth and resources (including food) in the world needs to be sorted out first. There is currently enough to go around, but overnutrition is a common phenomenon in developed countries.
