One perpetual debate that has dominated the food science community in the past decade has been whether genetically modified food or GM food is safe for human consumption.
過去十年食品科學界一直永恒爭論的話題是轉基因食品是否適合人類食用。
The debate became white hot in China in 2013 as the country increasingly looks at GM food as a viable source to satisfy the needs of its immense population.
2013年中國的這場辯論引發了空前白熱化,因為這個國家越來越關注作為可行來源,能夠滿足巨大人口需要的轉基因食品。

Proponents, mostly food scientists, advocated the broader use of GM food on the grounds that there is no scientific evidence so far to indicate that GM food is harmful to human health.
主要是食品科學家的支持者們提倡廣泛使用轉基因食品,因為迄今為止沒有科學證據表明轉基因食品對人體健康造成危害。
Meanwhile, opponents argue that one cannot risk public health precisely because the negative effects of GM are still unknown.
同時,反對者爭論個人不能承擔公共衛生風險,因為轉基因食品的負面影響仍然未知。
So is GM food safe for humans to consume?
那么,人類對于轉基因食品是否安全?
Is it a blessing or a curse for food security?
轉基因食品是福還是禍?
