This may seem like a simple, natural, solution, but not all places in the world have well-rounded diets. Genetic engineering is a way to incorporate many traits into one kind of plant. This is a plus because food can become a good source of many nutrients. Genetic engineering research should continue to help solve many of the world's problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
