What harmful environmental effects do gentically modified foods have on the environment?

Answer 1

Easy! The environment affects food in many ways. For an example, if their is a drought, that affects our food of course, because the plant does not get enough water so the plant dies, resulting in losing our food (the veggie) and if there is too much water drowning the soil and the roots of the plant, as a result the plant dies. The environment in third-world countries that are experiencing phanom right now is all because even though they are TRYING to grow food, their efforts are useless because eventually the plant will wither away from getting too much sunlight and no more water. If you are in places like the United States or maybe Canada, you should be totally thankful you are not in the same position as some other countries right now! So, in conclusion to my answer, the weather severely impacts on our food supply!

Answer 2

One known harmful environmental effect is that after a few years, GMO crops require more, not less, herbicides to be used. It is not known whether the varieties that are engineered to produce an insecticide are harming non-targeted insects such as honey bees and butterflies, or if the genes inserted into the genetically modified varieties will horizontally transfer to other species over time.

Food additives have a large effect on the people who eat them. Simply eating these can make people hyperactive or even get ADHD. They can cause illness if proper nutrition isn't provided.
