Genetically modified foods have entered the dining tables of thousands of households, and are your families eating them?
After several years of development, genetically modified food has entered people's lives and put it on people's tables from a novel and hazy concept. However, for most consumers, there is still a great deal of debate about GM agricultural products. At present, we are not sure whether my family has consumed those genetically modified foods, and this question has also caused many consumers to wonder.
According to media reports, 51 genetically modified crops have been approved nationwide. Among these varieties, corn and soybean are the most common, with 37 genetically modified varieties and 14 genetically modified soybean varieties approved. Genetically modified crops that have been grown in the countryside for a long time are now being marketed and delivered to our dinner tables. However, the average average user doesn't know if the food they buy or eat is genetically modified.
In the market, regulations on genetically modified agricultural products are not well enforced. Some farmers will do whatever it takes to buy genetically modified crops that are well-bred, have low production costs and high yields. But during this period, little attention was paid to whether the seeds were genetically modified, and there was no legal oversight of farmers and intermediaries. Therefore, although laws and regulations on genetically modified agriculture have been formulated, in practice, the relevant laws and regulations are rarely enforced, and there is a lack of special means of supervision. Therefore, some of the corn and soybeans of different colors and colors on the market are non-genetically modified, and some are difficult for ordinary people to identify.
As a result, many people inadvertently buy or accidentally eat genetically modified foods. It is undeniable that genetically modified foods are quietly entering people's tables from people's daily lives. At present, there are edible oils on the market that are both "genetically modified" and "non-genetically modified", but it is difficult for ordinary people to pay attention to their labels when purchasing. As a result, many people, unknowingly, go and buy genetically modified oils without knowing what they are eating. It's a shame.
Now that the legal status of genetically modified food has been secured, the previous acts of seed theft and smuggling will be a thing of the past. Growers, distributors and consumers alike feel that there is a lack of a certain norm regarding genetically modified products and a lack of definite and determined standards. This requires the cooperation of various departments such as agricultural science and technology, market management, and food security to promote relevant knowledge about genetically modified agriculture to the whole society. To give people a comprehensive picture of genetically modified food, it is possible to tell what it is, so that people can pick and choose what they want according to their requirements.
On the issue of genetically modified agriculture, I found a very interesting source. For example, genetically modified corn is more resistant to insects during planting, which allows farmers to use fewer pesticides, which in turn reduces production costs. In addition, this study will also enhance the drought resistance and disease resistance of transcription factors, which will play an important role in ensuring food safety and increasing farmers' income in China. At the same time, however, it is important to note the potential dangers and uncertainties. However, current research is still in its infancy, and it is not clear whether there is any harm to human health. Therefore, in the process of popularizing and using genetically modified agriculture in China, we must intensify our research efforts to ensure food safety and people's health.
Overall, genetically modified foods are quietly entering people's daily lives and gradually entering people's tables. In this regard, there are different opinions in the society, and there is no consensus. Proponents of anti-GM foods claim that foods should be natural, not genetically modifiedHowever, proponents of GM see it as a technology that can effectively improve food quality and output. In any case, we should continue to pay attention to and be vigilant about genetically modified agriculture, and while enjoying the benefits it can provide, we should also be aware of the dangers and uncertainties it contains. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the research on genetically modified agriculture and strengthen the control of its quality to ensure its healthy and sustainable development. Let's work together to safeguard people's food safety and health.
