The title of my talk is"Genetically Modified Foods"

Do you afraid of your health, when you choose foods? Now and then I am worried about my health, when I choose foods, because I like eating. If I gave up myself to eating something, I could not stop them and could eat same foods for a week. I know that they are not good for my health. they are kind of a drug to me. After I ate so much food, I thought that if only I had not had it, Iwould not have a regret. I wish I kept healthy body for my whole life.

How about GM foods? Do you afraid of them, when You choose foods? When I was in Japan, I used to care about them. After I came here, I have never cared about them, because I did not know GM food signs in Canada. Actually, I did not know them exactly. I made blind assumptions that they are dangerous. I took a discussion skills class in the afternoon. My classmates and I discussed them. I could not say my opinion. I did not have my opinion about them. I wanted to consider them.

Moving on, if people did not have GM foods, people would suffer from a food shortage. the population is increasing. They show excellent resistance to disease and harmful insects. It means that we could reduce to use agricultural chemicals. Another thing, they stay keeping fresh for a long time and have good taste. If we did not cross plants, we could not eat new vegetables.

They also have disadvantage. they could cause unpredictable effects to our health. Some people would have allergy. they are like an artificial being that could disturb the global ecological balance. In addition, Some people do not know about them. We unknowingly would eat them. they sound horrible. Nobody knows exactly what is happening. I wish they would be all right. If I did not discuss them, I would not care about them in Toronto. I should have researched them before. I have to be careful. I will try to find good food for me.

Finally, I would like to say that we must see them with our own eyes and must make a decision by ourselves. We have to control our bodies by ourselves.
