Hi there! "GM" stands for "Genetically Modified". So if you see "GM" on a food packet, it means that the ingredients in that food have been altered in some way using technology to create a desired trait, such as resistance to pests or longer shelf life.
Think of it like playing with Legos. Genetic modification is like taking different pieces of Legos and putting them together in a new way to create a different shape than what you started with.
It's worth noting that there is some controversy surrounding genetically modified foods. Some people worry about potential long-term health effects, while others argue that GM foods are safe to eat and necessary to feed the growing global population.
So, if you have concerns or questions about GM food, it's always a good idea to do some research and make informed choices about what you eat. Hope that helps!
