Scientist- Are genetically engineered foods the cure for world food issues?

Genetically engineered foods can solve many world food issues but also could be harmful to a person's health. There are certainly many benefits genetically engineered foods. These include: more nutritious foods, tastier foods, disease and drought-resistant plants that require fewer environmental resource, decreased use of pesticides, increased supply of food with reduced cost and longer shelf life, and food with more desirable traits. There are also certain risks that must be taken to consideration such as modified plants or animals that may have genetic changes that are unexpected and harmful, modified organisms that may interbreed with natural organisms and out-compete them, leading to extinction of the original organism or to other unpredictable environmental effects, and plants that may be resistant to some pests and more susceptible to others. Some people tend to overstate the benefits of genetically engineered foods while others tend to overstate the risks but research has shown that the benefits outweigh the risks significantly. The reason being is that genetically engineered plants could produce enough food to feed Third World countries. Also, genetically engineered golden rice had enough beta-carotene to help prevent blindness caused by Vitamin A deficiency in the developing world. Genetically engineered foods benefit farmers and the environment. Activists groups who are opposed to agricultural biotechnology say that the gold rice is "fools gold" because it has a potential to be good. The activists claim that the rice would not provide the recommended daily serving of vitamin A or iron. Other people are not comfortable with animal cloning.
 Overall, genetically engineered foods could cure world food issues and stop all world hunger.
