> The question isn't "should we genetically modified food?" because we already are and have been doing it for centuries. "Genetically modified" does not apply to selection and cross breeding. To create a variety of corn that can resist herbicides, you need some advanced technology that modifies the genes, hence GMO. So, no, we haven't been genetically modifying our food for centuries. The process appeared a few decades ago in the agro-industry. > You probably eat genetically modified food on a daily basis. It's everywhere. It's everywhere in the USA and some other countries. In Europe , GMO are rarely directly present in food. But, indirectly, many animals are fed with GMO, especially GMO soybean.
