Genetically modified food is a problem that has been created by another problem......overpopulation.As the world population gets larger,and it is doing at an alarming rate,the pressure on food production becomes ever greater.Scientists are creating these foods that grow faster,bigger and more resistant to disease to try to overcome the problems we are facing from future food shortages.This is a double edged sword really,either you let scientists carry on producing them and accept that they are changing the natural order of things or you accept that millions will starve in the future.
Personally I believe that nature will sort the problem out as it has been doing since we first walked the earth through drought,disease and natural disasters.
This is the whole point.......by creating the means of feeding more and more people,the population will be allowed to increase ever further,creating ever more problems.These problems will be more disease,more pressure for space,more likelyhood of conflict etc,etc.By trying to do something to help humanity,they are in fact doing something that will cause serious future problems.
Leave the natural order of things to carry on or we will inevitably suffer the consequencies........we have already made a hash of the gifts we have been given.
