gmos, good or bad? well, both.

 

My position on gmos. I think they’re great. Not in all cases, but in most. They are helping solve world hunger faster than ever before. But, they have side effects. Like superweeds, and less nutritional value. But, I have to say that now that we have a solution, why critique it while it’s still new? Let it thrive, and then work on the side effects. Since norman borlogs invention of genetically modifying plants, we have seen an exponential incline in crop yield, this means that we have more supplies than demand could ever need. Yet, our diets have come to revolve around the main crops, corn, soy, and wheat. This makes us undernourished. But, we see places like whole foods making a positive impact in the food deserts of America. We will continue to work on decreasing the number of food deserts in America and making world hunger a smalled issue than it is today.

Here is a graph showing the incline in crop yield from India from 1960-2019, and you can see the incline as normans idea hit India and boosted their crop yield.

Other GMO foods, such as vitamin A-enriched Golden Rice, have been fortified with vitamins and minerals to create healthier staple foods and help prevent malnutrition.
