This theory originates from the idea that the evidence that
proves genetically modified foods are safe to consume was created. Basically
the accusers are saying that genetically modified foods are not safe to consume
and any evidence that says they are is fake. Funny thing about this entire
conspiracy is that the accusers are just accusing others without any evidence
themselves. Even though these accusers may not have very much evidence, their
reasons they have for their concern are still very valid. I believe this conspiracy
exist only because of these concerns. One of the main concerns is that they
believe that genetically modified foods aren’t safe simply because these
products haven’t been around long enough for anyone to know their long term
side effects.

I can agree with them when it comes to an argument like this
because it is true, these products haven’t been around long enough for anyone
to know their long term side effects. However, the only way to learn their long term side effects on people is for people to use them over a long
period of time as dumb as it sounds. The reason that the idea of genetically
modified foods hasn’t been scrapped is because these foods hold so much
potential. They can give us more vitamins and minerals than ordinary food, they
can yield more fruits than ordinary food and they can ward off insects and
other would be plant killers. This in turn makes farming these foods much more
efficient than farming ordinary crops. It’s for these reasons that I think
genetically modified foods are promising however I feel like scientist need a
much better understanding of genetic science before they can truly say that
these products are safe.
It is also for this reason that I believe this
conspiracy exists, I think it was created to turn people away from a promising
field as the accusers are scared of change and the unknown. It makes me think
of how some Americans are stocking up on incandescent light bulbs because the
production of them is being stopped and they are afraid of the transition for
reasons I don’t know. If all organic food production were to be stopped I can
see people stocking on organic foods as well. That’s why I think this
conspiracy was a fabrication to scare people.
