genetically modified food :)!

1). Genetically modified (GM) foods are food items that have had their DNA changed through genetic engineering.
2). Unlike conventional genetic modification that is carried out through conventional breeding and that have been consumed for thousands of years, GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s.
3). The most common modified foods are derived from plants: soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil.
4). The first commercially grown genetically modified whole food crop was the tomato.
