This document discusses genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It defines GMOs as plants or animals that have been genetically engineered, such as BT crops that are resistant to pests or flavr savr tomatoes. The document outlines some advantages of GMOs, like drought and salinity tolerance, but also notes disadvantages like potential risks to human health and environmental impacts. It then compares the prevalence of GMOs in the USA, where soy, corn, sugar beets and milk are commonly genetically modified, versus Tunisia, where GMOs were more restricted before and after the revolution. The document concludes by suggesting ways to avoid GMOs, such as buying organic or whole foods, and the need for awareness campaigns.
