3 Activity 20: Are GMOs the Solution? 1. I have eaten food that contains genetically modified (GM) crops. 2. GM foods should be available, as long as they are tested before they are sold for human consumption. 3. The risks of GM foods outweigh the possible benefits. 4. GM foods will help provide a sustainable food supply. 5. I am concerned about eating GM foods. 6. Farmers should grow corn that is genetically modified to resist insects that damage cornfields. Genetically Modified Organisms
