Dhould scientists modify our food 0
of years ago - most people were hunters whose food
came from the animals and fish they had !illed and
from nuts - roots and fruit they had collected( $ater-
these hunters lived in one place and became farmers whose method of
getting food was to grow crops from the seeds of wild plants( .ver time -
they noticed that some plants were better than others ( #hey saved the
seeds from these plants and so the yields and quality of their crops
improved(
plants - all other living things contain genes which control
what they will be li!e ( +odern scientists can put genes into
plants and animals in their laboratories - and this means they can
modify their genes in order to change what they are li!e( #his is called
Genetic engineering3 , type of tomato is an e0ample of this ( When normal
tomatoes ripen- one of their genes produces a chemical that ma!es the
fruit rot( *cientists can modify this genes so that the tomatoes don't rot
so quic!ly( #his is one way in which genetically modified (+) crops can
improve agriculture ( *cientists !now that this technology can also protect
people from starvation in countries where insects or diseases destroy
crops( 7or e0ample - fruit and vegetables have been modified so that they
are not damaged by the diseases that !ill ' normal ' plants(
many people believe that modified food is unnatural and
fear that genetic engineering may bring new diseases in
the future ( *o should we eat genetically modified food
or not 8
*urprisingly - biscuits - ca!es and many other foods that we have been
eating for years already contain genetically modified ingredients ( )ave
they done us any damage 8
