GMO-Alex C.
CONCERNS :warning:
Not healthy for humans.
If Round-Up is used on plants that have been modified to be resistant it could still contain some of the round-up weed killer and get eaten by people.
Allergy Risk
Some foods might have the gene of a different food that people are allergic to and that might cause some problems.

Claim: One major concern is that the they might have the genes of other foods that people are allergic to.

Counterclaim While it is true that GMOs can have certain genes that people are allergic to, there is a law that says that GMO ingredients must be put on labels .
Claim:A major benefit is that GMOs can help farmers to grow crops in places that have bad conditions.
:mag_right: Evidence: Drought resistant GMOs such as corn (maize), and salinity (salt) resistant GMOs (Video)
Counterclaim: Even though they do grow in many different environments, they do not necessarily resist the insects in that area, and even if they do studies have shown that soon farmers will be spending twice as much money as they originally did on pesticides.
