Perhaps we are eating genetically modified foods

Since the 90s of last century, genetically modified foods have slowly entered the families of ordinary people, and the public has begun to pay attention to the safety of genetically modified foods. Is genetically modified food safe? Experts continue to argue about this -- some experts say that long-term consumption of genetically modified foods may be a serious health hazard, and some experts believe that genetically modified foods are as healthy as traditional foods.

It is inconclusive that GM foods are not safe in the end. At present, citizens should pay attention to what are the foods in the market that contain transgenes.

Do you understand genetic modification?

Most of the ignorant

“Are genetically modified?” said a lady who was picking up bags of rice and turned to ask, “Is it okay to have genetically modified?”

The reporter explained roughly that the lady smiled and continued to compare the price of rice. “So, if there is no harm in genetically modified, it’s not clear. It’s not so much. I think, the supermarkets let it sell.” There should be no problem!"

Although the “Greenpeace” exposing the news of the emergence of insect-resistant genetically modified rice in Hunan and Hubei provinces on March 15 attracted many people's attention, the reporter discovered after a few days of interviews that the city’s consumers were concerned about the concept of genetic modification. There is still not much to understand, and most people still value brands and prices when they buy foods and non-staple foods.

The reporters found that at least 60% of the residents of Huarun Wanjia and Chunhu supermarkets at Chunfeng Road who buy edible oils at the edible oil counters do not care about the label, and they do not care whether the edible oil contains genetically modified ingredients. Most consumers, especially middle-aged and elderly people, do not understand that a considerable portion of the corn oil, soybean oil, and rapeseed oil available on the market contain genetically modified ingredients. As for low-income migrant workers, most of them only care about the price of cooking oil, rather than the internal ingredients.

More and more followers

Although there are many ignorant people, there are also many people who are concerned about genetically modified genes. After the exposure of genetically modified rice, more and more people are watching.
