Genetically Modified Foods: Helpful or Harmful

Personally I feel that genetically modified foods are helpful to feed the growing population in the world. Genetically modified foods can possess many traits which the plant originally did not possess like drought resistance. Stale food crops like rice can be harvested in a shorter time after genetically modifying it and this rice could be sold at a cheaper price which is more affordable by the poor. However, there is also a catch involving Genetically Modified Foods, among them are environmental hazards, human health risks, and economic concerns. If a foreign gene is introduced to the crop it may cause un intended harm to the consumers but I believe if safety precautions are taken it should be quite safe to consume. I truly believe that genetically modified food is the future of our future world where the population is double from the sx million now,
