Genetically modified foods, from here on out I will refer to it as GM foods, was a topic discussed in my Social Problems class this semester. I found it pretty interesting, and I think you will too!
Here is a link to a website that tells a little about GM foods.
One of the benefits of GM foods is that with the population growing rapidly it is one way that we can assure enough produce to feed the growing population for years to come. Another benefit is that the farmers wouldn't have to be scared of an early frost before harvest. The plants would be able to withstand much colder temperatures.
The disadvantages is what interested me the most. The fact that we could possibly be introducing new allergies from these GM foods as well as unknown effects on our health.
