Question

When commenting on the controversy surrounding GMOs in agriculture, a government official in South Africa said ‘I really don’t like the idea of having genes in my food.’ Which of the following is an appropriate response to this comment?

option B. We eat genes, whether the food is from a GMO or from a conventional plant is correct because the genetic material is present in all plants and crops so telling this statement against the GM food alone is not correct.
