Claim 1: If you have ever eaten anything that has grown in the ground, you’ve almost certainly eaten genetically modified organisms. Genetic engineering has been integral to the human diet for thousands of years, and it’s given us a wider and better variety of foods. Adapting this technology on a wider scale will allow that very positive trend to continue.
Claim 2: Over 2,000 scientific studies performed worldwide have shown that genetically modified crops are safe and that they have the potential to enrich the human diet nutritionally, lower the price of food, and end food insecurity in a world where the growing population continues to place a strain on resources.

Claim 1 establishes an informal, conversational style through the use of contractions and point of view.
Claim 1: Scientific studies have shown that genetic engineering poses a grave risk to a plant’s genetic integrity. When this integrity is disturbed, the outcome is unpredictable. Dormant toxin levels can be activated in the plant, resulting in permanent damage to entire crops. This phenomenon occurred in StarLink corn, a product engineered to resist pests and that triggered life-threatening reactions in humans who consumed it.
Claim 2: Childhood blindness is a huge problem in developing countries. Nutritional deficiencies are usually to blame. That’s bad—horrible, in fact—but it can be avoided. Researchers have developed a variety of rice known as Golden Rice, which produces high levels of beta carotene. Beta carotene’s a godsend when it comes to this terrible problem, a thing of the past.
