bioengineered foods, genetically engineered foods have had foreign genes inserted into genetic codes, genetic engineering, plants, animals, micro-organisms, historically, farmers bred plants, animals, desired traits, thousands of years, would produce dogs ranging from poodles to great danes, example, roses from sweet-smelling miniatures to today's long-lasting, scent-free reds, selective breeding over time created these wide variations, dependent on nature producing the desired gene, humans choosing to mate animals, plants, gene to make the related characteristics more common, pronounced, genetic engineering allows scientists to speed this process up by moving desired genes, one plant into another, animal to a plant, vice versa, potential benefits of genetically engineered food, nutritious food, tastier food, drought resistant plants that, require fewer environmental resources, water, fertilizer, decreased use of pesticides, increased supply of food, reduced cost, longer shelf life, faster growing plants, animals, food, more desirable traits, potatoes that absorb less fat, fried, medicinal foods which could be used, vaccines, medications, potential risks, modified plants, animals, have genetic changes, unexpected, harmful, modified organisms, interbreed, natural organisms, out-compete them, extinction, the original organism, to other unpredictable environmental effects, a plant less resistant to some pests more susceptible to others, tomatoes, potatoes, squash, corn, soybeans have been genetically altered, biotechnology, many more foods have ingredients which have been engineered, developed, check, the food, drug administration, fda, food, drug administration, fda, regulates production, labeling of genetically engineered foods, have raised concerns that the genes, one food, inserted into another food, an allergic reaction, instance, peanut genes, in tomatoes, could someone, a peanut allergy react to tomatoes, in january 2001, fda's center, food safety, applied nutrition proposed that developers of bioengineered food submit scientific, safety information, fda at least 120 days, the food is marketed, further details on these foods found on, website, genetically engineered foods, generally regarded, safe, no reports of illness, injury, due to genetically engineered foods, each new genetically engineered food, have to be judged individually.
