Genetically modified food is harvested from a genetically harvested organism. Through genetic engineering the organisms can make produced to our standards or needs. Whether its growing it in the desert of making it grow faster, we can do most of it through modifying the organism thus our produce become genetically modified. GM foods have not been around for long. Only since 1990s were GM foods brought into the market. The most of the common GM foods are transgenic plants. Transgenic plants are plants containing a multiple or single gene from a different species. Controversially GM animal products have also been made. Currently there is as much support as controversy for GM foods.
