A few days ago, I wrote a post titled ‘what are GM foods‘. Today, I am going to look at all the advantages of growing genetically modified foods.
Advantages (Pros) of Genetically Modified (GM) Foods:
- Saves the use of toxic chemicals. GM crops can be made resistant to pests, so pesticides do not need to be sprayed on them. This is also better on
Here are some fairly basic math problems to test your skills (answers are provided at the end of the post). If you find these too easy, or just want different challenges, check out our fifth grade math problems and basic algebra problems.

Genetically modified (GM) foods are simply foods that have had their DNA changed via genetic engineering. Genetic engineers (the people who genetically modify food) take DNA from a plant or animal and transfer it to crops. Here is an example of how it might work…
Strawberries are not very resistant to frosts. Hence, genetic engineers can take a frost resistant gene (part of the DNA) out of a plant that is
Some time ago I wrote a list of low carb foods for people on low carb diets. Now I am going to give you a list of foods that are high in fiber. You need between 30 and 40 grams of fiber everyday to maintain the best health. Most Americans only get 8-15 grams of fiber a day, not nearly enough. So eat
