Question
Article 1: Halos and Cuties were not created to keep people healthy but to look nice after they have been peeled. The same gene that helps stop the rotting of oranges is the gene used to help fight off insects, pests, and diseases. In addition, people do not want genetically modified food. Oranges already have high levels of toxic pesticides that are linked to chemical changes in people's bodies. Those pesticides are already on 90% of people's bodies in the United States and are found in even higher concentrations in children. Article 2: Today the United States Food and Drug Administration concluded that Halos and Cuties are safe for eating. GMOs must meet the same logical and ethical standards of food grown the traditional way. The review process includes research on the molecular changes and nutritional makeup of GMOs compared to non GMOs. The FDA has no food safety questions about Halos or Cuties at this time.
Pick three answers. Make sure all of them are correct!

Based on the content of the two articles, here are three accurate inferences or conclusions:
1. **Article 1 expresses a negative opinion about genetically modified foods.**
This is correct as Article 1 highlights concerns related to health, pesticides, and the desire of consumers to avoid genetically modified foods.
2. **The authors of both articles would agree that the intended outcome of developing oranges is to prevent rotting.**
This is also correct, as it is mentioned in both articles that the gene used in the development of Halos and Cuties helps to prevent rotting.
3. **Article 2 does not mention any unintended outcomes of developing oranges.**
This is accurate because Article 2 focuses on the safety assessment by the FDA and does not discuss potential unintended consequences of genetically modifying oranges.
These three points accurately reflect the analysis of both articles regarding their content and biases.
