My answer is maybe for the safety of GM food.
It might be safe for people to eat them but on the other hand, it can also
be very dangerous.
It can be helpful somestimes to consume Genetically Modified food but
sometimes, it can bring bad effects to our body.

I think genetically modified food is good for our economy. With more food grown that can feed people in other parts of the world who badly need it. If i was in the committe i would approve using this type of food to feed our growing population. Some people may think its not safe but we need GE food for our growing population we can't afford to have a shortage of food due to any reason.

I would say yes to GM food as long as there is a limit to it. Currently, there are not human health risks found and the population is expected to grow very rapidly in the next years. Also, as the human life span increases, more food will be necessary. In addition, more food will be able to be produced so that more people can access them. I believe that although it takes a lot of money to genetically engineer these foods, it will actually become more profitable as more people are able to get the food they need.
