Proponents of GM food claim that GM food can assist in the battle against world hunger. We have seen that genetic engineering can produce crops that resist pests and disease. It can also produce crops with greater yields and crops that will grow despite droughts, depleted soil, or excess salt, aluminium, or iron. Foods can also be genetically modified to contain higher amounts of specific nutrients. One example is the “golden rice” mentioned in this chapter. More than 100 million children worldwide suffer from vitamin A deficiency, and 500,000 of them go blind every year because of that deficiency. Although "golden rice" cannot supply a complete recommended daily dose of vitamin A, the amount it contains could be helpful to a person whose diet is very low in vitamin A.

What is the advantage of using genetic engineering, according to the text?

• Genetic engineering creates crops that can resist diseases and pests.
• Genetic engineering creates crops that can contain salt, aluminium and iron.
• Genetic engineering creates crops that can die in the drought.
• Genetic engineering creates crops that are harmful to kids.
