In contemporary society, there are many GM foods which are genetically modified ones, such GM food as salmon, tomato, and so on. This food is made by changing some genes of animals or plants. According to the article, the Food and Drug Administration stated that “as safe to eat as food from other Atlantic salmon” (Leslie Gevirtz, 2010). Like this, not only the U.S government, but the Korean government also claims that the GMO, genetically modified organism, is safe; however, most people do not accept GM foods. In other words, they people worldwide do not want to eat GM food for some reasons. While the number of the GM food is increasing, people still have a doubt about the security of GM food. This is because GM foods do not testify whether the GM food is safe or not, because of the fact that the study about this kind of foods is still studying by scientists. Nowadays, there is lots of new information about GM food by researcher. Some of information is that GM food is the same as regular good. On the other hand, others said that GM food is harmful to human body and the environment. Like this, GM food is still controversial, so this causes people not to trust the GM food.
