Second Strongest Argument

GM foods can improve nutrition or medicine for millions. Foods can be bioengineered to deliver important nutrients or drugs which could prove to be a less expensive and more practical way to fight malnutrition and disease on a global scale. Some foods have been modified to produce drugs, vaccines, and industrial chemicals or to suppply critical micronutrients such as vitamins, iron, and iodine in foods such as milk, bread, and cereal. For example, scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology created a type of rice that produces the nutrient beta-carotene. Called "golden rice" it could prevent blindness in half a million to three million poor children a year. In some cases, genetically engineered foods produce medical needs that be be attained by no othe means. For instance, if it weren't for Genetically modified organisms, we wouldn't have have life-saving human insulin for Type 1 diabetics.
