| Question text | You may have heard of genetically modified or 'GM' foods. These are made from plants which have had their genes altered. Some people say that growing these plants may damage other plants and wildlife and that food made from them may not be safe to eat. Other people say that growing these plants may mean lower food prices and less use of pesticides and weed killers. Please say how much you agree with each of these statements about genetically modified (GM) foods. In order to compete with the rest of the world, Britain should grow genetically modified (GM) foods. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
