As a part of the Salvadorian society which is satisfied with the products of

Super Selectos we get encouraged in order to support the idea of keeping your
shelves with Genetically Modified Products in stock. We as loyal consumers of this
grocery store believe GMOs contribute to the Salvadorian society with three main
benefits. To begin, with our support we want to explain that GMOs have better
nutritional values than selectively breed produce. In spite of that, many anti-GMO
activists, like the Lotus Clinic, express that selectively breed produce has higher
nutritional content than genetically modified food. Notwithstanding, Dr. Sandra
Young denies this opinion by giving some examples: golden rice and canola oil is
genetically altered to increase its beta carotene content which is the pigment of
some vegetable, so the human body converts it into vitamin A which is essential for
healthy skin, immune system and vision. In addition, the amount of omega-3 fatty
acids found in eggs increase as well as grains and cereals are frequently fortified
with iron and vitamins. Having expressed that, we believe GMOs contribute in a
better way to our health and that is the reason why many people prefer this kind of
products.

To continue, having this sort of process the food yield is bigger and the prize
is affordable for any social class. We have been immersed in the poor economic
conditions some people live, and the necessity of having enough food to eat every
day. According to the way Biotech food grows, it is easy to identify an ideal size of
fruits, vegetables and animals that can be enough to feed more than one person in
a family who lives in extremely poverty. For instance, if we talk about a delicious
corn which does not have genetic genes its size would be 15 centimeters, but
making a comparison with a genetically modified corn, we would get 30
centimeters corn which would be the ideal product people need and would help
eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Also, we can see clearly a considerable
saving of money since for the same amount we can buy more products. They
contains great benefits as McFadden, Brandon, (2016 Agriculture, Conservation,
Environment, IFAS, Pollution, Research, Safety ) said: Perhaps science
communication should address peoples perceptions about illusionary correlations
versus their knowledge and genetically modified foods, genetically modified (GM)
foods are defined by the World Health Organization as foods derived from
organisms whose genetic material has been modified in a way that does not occur
naturally and which function will be a great help to country with over population,
providing more healthy food to people. In this way, we are in agreement that
Biotech food take more advantages than other products.

Another important benefit of continuing selling modified products in Super

selectos stores is the environmentally friendly condition and resistance pest they
generate. According to agricultural engineers of the University of El Salvador,
products such as fruits and vegetables genetically modified are convenient for our
ecosystem, since they contain genes and molecules able to kill insects and pest
generators which help avoid the use of harmful pesticides to the environment. For
example, papayas that are produced by conventional breeding and that are sold in
municipal markets generally are infected by pest on the peel, different from the
ones that are sold in Super Selectos supermarkets which are modified imported
product that always look like healthy for people and our environment. In addition,
most people are satisfied with genetically modified food, because they are not only
bigger and safer than conventional food but also they can be consumed into longer
periods of time and they last more time inside the packages without any risk of
health problems. In short, genetically modified food contributes to improve
Salvadorian daily diet in many aspects which have been expressed through this
document. Nutritional values and abundance helps us eradicate famine; longer
periods of time to better preserve food. When crops resist pests makes the
environment safer. So, we congratulate your efforts of working for the welfare of
our society and we hope your grocery store to continue selling modified food since
Biotech food can be the future solution of economic and health problems in El
Salvador and in other countries of world.
