Food is traded between states as well as globally. Global food trade is extremely important to all countries. But how many of you know where the food on your tables comes from? Many scientists wonder if we will be able to continue to grow enough food for a growing population. One of the most widely debated issues right now is genetically modified organisms (GMO's). Genetic engineering allows for desired traits to be put into plants. Genetically modified foods have been available in this country for more than a decade. Most of you are probably eating GMOs without even knowing it. More than 75% of the products on the super market shelves contain a component that is a GMO.
