In my opinion it doesn’t really matter whether or not there are GMO’s in my food. There probably has been for a while, and so far nothing has happened. Unless there is a significant probably that cannot be solved I don’t see a huge problem with it. I’m sure if there was something wrong, our bodies would slowly adapt. To be honest, even if they got rid of the Genetically Modified food, it wouldn’t bother me. I just rather have the cheaper food as long as it tastes the same. There are lots of benefits to Genetically Modified food. You can change things for the better in almost any way possible. Specifically with the sugar beet, “Two sugar beets: The one on the left has been selectively bred to be smoother than the traditional beet, so it traps less soil.” (Wiki). The only downside to this may be the reaction of the nature community around it. If this reaction is very significant, then we can always go through and do something a little different to fix that problem. Another very valid point Wikipedia makes is, “About 95% of sugar beet acres in the US were planted with glyphosate-resistant seed in 2011” (Wiki). The majority of sugar we get it from the United States and not imported. That means if we were to get rid of Genetically Modified sugar beets, we would be destroying the sugar industry. We would have to pay other countries a lot more and rely on their trade a lot more. Not only would that, but the time it would take to get rid of the glyphostate-resistant sugar beet take forever. That is because it is 95% of the country’s total sugar beets. That’s not even accounting for the time needed to replant and start growing on the right track. If people want to say that Wikipedia is not a valid source, I have a quote directly from the USDA that says, “The final PPRA scientifically examined the plant pest characteristics of the RR sugar beet variety and found the variety is not likely to pose a plant pest risk to agri
