Genetically Modified Food?

Hey, I'm researching for an oral I have to give soon, and am wanting a "shock" opening, or interesting start, to engage my audience.Thankyou so much for your assistance!
Answer:
Genetically modified food is chemically modified,environmentally modified and commercially modified. In the USA regulation of a genetically modified food is determined by the objective characteristics of the food and the intended use of the food, irrespective of the way it was developed. FDA policy states that a formal pre-market review by the FDA is to be taken when the objective characteristics of any substance added to the food raises issues of safety.Prior to marketing a new GM food product, manufacturers are required to submit documentation to the FDA to demonstrate its safety and then await approval before selling it to consumers.Critics of GM food believe this regulatory model fails to sufficiently protect consumers and claim that the FDA is subject to pressure and influence by industry. One concern voiced is that a novel crop may have unintended changes created during the insertion of new genetic material. On the other hand, plant scientists, backed by results of modern comprehensive profiling of crop composition, point out that crops modified using GM techniques are less likely to have unintended changes than are conventionally bred crops.Genetically modified food can be engineered to perfect safety by ethical codes.

How's this for Shocking, I don't Think it is Terribly Dangerous, Whereas I Think Ionizing Radiation Might Well Be.
