At the grocery store, Ted noticed new labels on many of his favorite food items.  These labels have a 'BE' symbol, and state 'Derived from Bioengineering'. Ted wondered whether these foods were just as healthy and safe to consume as they previously were.  After doing a Google search, Ted realized that Bioengineered Foods are also known as Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMO foods, and he saw some opinion-based articles which suggested that GMOs are harmful in many ways.Given what you now know about Genetically Modified Organisms, which of the following statements are true? (select all that apply)Group of answer choicesGMOs can reduce food waste.GMOs are safe and pose no serious health risk in humans.GMOs can increase the production capacity of some foods.GMOs can reduce the amount of insecticides needed in agricultural systems.
