    This document discusses genetically modified (GM) foods and presents perspectives from various sources on both sides of the debate. It begins by defining GM foods as foods that have been scientifically altered at the DNA level. It then shares a video clip showing most people's lack of knowledge about GM foods. The document outlines how GM techniques work and lists both potential negative health effects and positive impacts like preventing blindness and increasing crop yields. It acknowledges there are differing opinions among Americans on this issue and that long term effects of GM foods remain unknown. It concludes by noting GM foods are widely used in the US but labels do not always indicate their presence.
