Strongest Argument

Genetically Engineered foods are becoming a necessity in today's modern world. There are nearly 800 millioon people in the world that do not have enough food to eat, according to the United Nation's Food and Agricultural Organization, and over the next 40 years, the global population is expected to double in size. With the rising population, we willl need more housing which means that more land is going to be used for construction of living space. This means less land is going to be available for agriculture which means that we can not put any land to waste and that we must be able to produce enough crops in the little land that we do have. This can only be accomplished through the use of genetically engineered foods. Genetically engineered foods can produce a greater yeild, and are definitely more reliable because they can be engineered to be pesticide or herbicide resistant.
