Read the text. Divide the statements into three groups.
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 in spite of drought, 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”. 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 the "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.
Critics of using GM food to battle world hunger argue that the problem of hunger has nothing to do with an inability to produce enough food.
The problem, they say, is a social one of distributing food so that it is available to the people who need it.
