Genetic engineering

In the last decade biotechnology has introduced food that has been genetically altered to help reduce insects and weeds like corn, soybeans, and cotton. These were then planted in large quantities. But research has found that the engineered organisms may harm people's health or the environment. they may also kill beneficial insects, reduce natural resources, or contaminate the food supply with drugs. To protect our health and the environment from these products we must convince the federal government to regulate these products and urge the FDA to require safety testing and labeling on these products.
