GM(轉(zhuǎn)基因的) Foods
The term(術(shù)語)GM foods refers to(指)those produced(生產(chǎn))with the latest(最新的)genetic engineering(基因工程)techniques(技術(shù)). In 2000, countries that grew 99% of the global(全球的) GM crops(莊稼，糧食作物)were the United States, Argentina(阿根廷), Canada, and China. The next decade(十年)will see rapid(迅速的)development in GM products(產(chǎn)品). GM foods may solve(解決)many of the world’s hunger(饑餓)problems, and help protect(保護(hù))the environment(環(huán)境). Yet there are many challenges(挑戰(zhàn))ahead(在前面)for governments(政府), especially(特別)in the areas(領(lǐng)域)of human and environmental(環(huán)境的)safety(安全), labeling(掛標(biāo)簽，貼標(biāo)簽) and consumer(消費(fèi)者)choice(選擇), ethics(倫理，道德), food security(安全), regulation(規(guī)則)and international policy(政策). Many people feel that genetic engineering is inevitable(不可避免的)and that such a technology(技術(shù))should be put to use(付諸應(yīng)用). However, others warn(警告)that we must take care(小心)to avoid(避免)causing(導(dǎo)致) unintentional(非故意的)harm(損害)to both human health and the environment as a result of(由于) our enthusiasm(熱情)for this powerful(強(qiáng)大的)technology.
