GMOs

Benefits 👌
Resistances
GMOs can make the plant resistant to droughts which is useful because if places like California need to save water, they can use these plants to help save water.
GMOs also can have a resistance to weeds which is useful because the farmers don't have to spend all day getting rid of weeds. This means it saves time and it could save money from people having to spend money on materials that can get rid of weeds.
GMOs can give resistances like the resistant to insects. This can cause less pesticides because it causes the insects to not like the food which save food.
Cheaper
Because GMOs make more food quicker, it saves a lot of money. The seeds for the farmers are also cheaper than organic seeds.
GMOs are cheaper so people who have less money can buy it. This can make it a good solution for world hunger because it makes more food and it is cheaper.
Example: A farmer is too poor to keep growing organic food because the seeds are very expensive. They can get more food to sell and eat for a cheaper price with the seeds, saving them a lot of money.
Hunger
GMOs can help hunger because it can make crops grow faster and the crops can yield more which means more food for people who are very hungry and need food.
Example: Say if a country is running out of food, they can grow GMO crops to make them grow more food faster. That means the country would be able to have enough food to keep the countries food supplies sustained.
Because it helps countries, it can stop world hunger.
Concerns 😠
Not Labeled
Food not being labled is not good because if GMOs had an issue to them, people wouldn't know if they are eating the GMOs.
Example: If somebody was wanting to not eat GMO foods but was eating non labeled food which had GMOs in them. They wouldn't know that the food they were eating had GMOs.

Allergies
-
Example: What if someone had allergies to soy, they ate some potatoes that had GMOs in them but the GMOs were from soy so they would get an allergic reaction.
Because they are not labeled, people might not know if they will get allergies. I have allergies to dairy so to not know if the food will give me issues makes me feel annoyed.
Toxicity
GMOs can cause some toxins to get in your body. These toxins usually don't hurt the human body but they can and has happened.
If these toxins get too out of hand, then people can possibly die.
Example: Their is a GMO hormone in cows that cause the cows to grow faster and produce more mile. This would be fine but the hormone can get in the milk and if you drink it, then you would have issues and can get infections, tumors, and other health hazards.
