Answer 1

The article discusses the advantages of genetically modified foods and whether their necessity is out of the question or not. Research conducted on several different products (such as tomatoes, corn or potatoes) have shown that, despite the skepticism, GM foods could help fight disease, boost our immune system, reduce the risk of a heart attack, live longer and much more. Great results have been observed in animals nourished with modified feed and proven to be healthier and far better protected against parasites. In spite of these results, people hesitate when it comes to GM foods. Problems arise either because of the belief that modified foods have not been sufficiently tested, either because they wish for a long-term solution or they are simply resistant to change. However, these people do not cope with starvation, neither do they understand the fact that conventionally obtained products alter quickly, even before reaching their final destination. Finally, people who are resistant to the idea  are presumed to have limited knowledge regarding the subject, since the same thing happened back in the 19th century, for instance, when people strongly believed that tomatoes were deadly until someone proved them wrong. As history has shown, people might change their views in the future.
