  Genetically modified (转基因的) foods have become a focus point of agriculture throughout the news today.This has an effect on many different aspects of the agriculture world.From the seed dealer,to the farmer that buys the seed,to the workers that the farmer sells to:all are affected by the new technologies that are involved in this part of production agriculture.

  Genetically modified foods have come under heavy fire lately.There are some countries that are against buying these types of foods.They are being tested for safety by the best scientific experts in Europe,the US and the rest of the world—They are not for sale until they have gone through this complete safety process.Since they are a new product,and any slight problem with them could affect a whole country,these tests are very necessary.

  These safety tests are carried out because of the new rules that were made with the Novel Foods Regulation.Begun in May of 1997,the Novel Foods Regulation set up an EU­wide pre­market system for all novel foods.A novel food is described as one that has not been eaten by EU consumers widely in the past.By setting up this program the EU hopes to keep its consumers safe from any possible side effects of any new food products.

  There are a variety of ways in which genetic modification has helped food producers.They can improve the nutritional value or the storage conditions of the food.Today there are only two genetically modified foods that have been allowed for use,these are GM soybean and GM maize.

  Despite any safety checks,many people are still cautious about eating genetically modified foods.By providing these people with the necessary information,we can allow them to make decisions about these foods.

  Whenever we turn on the TV or radio,read the newspapers,surf the Internet,we’ll be surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere.We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us.We are paying for products that harm us psychologically(心理上地) and physically.

  It’s obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically.They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight,but in controlling the consumption of fat.All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

  What’s more,diet products have greater psychological effects.Every time we have a zero­calorie drink,we are telling ourselves that we don’t have to work to get results.Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain,and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

  As a matter of fact,the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us,but also in the physical harm they cause.Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie,only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products.And they can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients.Diet products may not be nutritional,and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

  Losing weight lies in the power of minds,not in the power of chemicals.Think twice before buying diet products.Once we realize this,we will be much better able to resist diet products,and therefore,prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.
