摘要
人们对转基因食品的态度，似乎愈来愈壁垒分明，一边的人支持，另一边的人则是畏惧。支持者宣称，种植转基因作物对环境伤害较小，而食用这种农作物制成的食品也完全无害。他们还说，基因工程让农作物在贫瘠的土地上也能生长，或可培育出更营养的食品。
The world seems increasingly divided into those who favor genetically modified （GM） foods and those who fear them. Advocates assert that growing genetically altered crops can be kinder to the environment and that eating foods from those plants is perfectly safe. And, they say, genetic engineering can induce plants to grow in poor soils or to produce more nutritious foods.
