What are the concerns of GM foods?

There are many concerns to GM foods.

They include;
  • Harmful to humans- the gene in some of the foods can cause harmfull allergies. They can lead to allergies with no cure.
  • Give rise to 'super weeds'- the gene in the foods that make food grow larger can transferr onto weeds, this makes the weeds sprout upwards and can ruin crops.
  • Pests- genes from GM food could be passed onto pests which can make them become resistant to the pesticides and the pesticides become useless, making thousands of jobs being lost and buisnesses running out of buissness.
