Explanation:

Genetically modified foods are the food substances which have been produced by the modern technique of genetic engineering. The genetically modified crops such as Brinjal, tomato, papaya, potato, cotton etc. are produced using Recombinant DNA technology.

The gene for the desired trait is incorporated in the genome of the food vegetables which can be expressed in the food.

Since this method involves the incorporation of the gene therefore this becomes a topic of the controversy. Some people and communities are in favour of these crops such as scientific community ans some are aginst it such as Spiritual communities and the organizations.

The benefit of the genetically modified (GM) crops is that the traits which cause harm to the crops can be cured such as the early ripening of tomato and resistance to herbicide and pesticide.

The harmful effects of such crops have been measured by the certain organization like FDA which based on their data concludes that these crops show certain harmful effects on human and animal health such as acute toxicity, increase in the weight of the organs etc.

The Spiritual communities believe that humans have no right to play with the products of nature and GM crops has become ethical and moral issues.
