Organic or genetically modified food?

Nowadays buying food we can choose between two options: organic or genetically modified food. But before we decide which of them is a better option, we should explain what organic or genetically modified food mean.
Organic food can be defined as 'natural' food deprived of pesticides or food additives. It is not just good for vegetarians - fruit or vegetables, but it also includes cheese, meat, wine and even tinned food.
Genetically modified food is created thanks to manipulating the DNA structure of plants and animals. It helps produce more food and it improves resistance of plants and animals to diseases. A lot of people are against these new developments, that is why some supermarkets and restaurants do not sell genetically modified food and some food makers have promised not to use it.
As for me, I would definitely prefer to buy organic food. And I also believe in a good diet. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables because they contain a lot of minerals and vitamins which are good for my heath. I avoid sweets, ice-cream or crisps, because they are too calorific. I prefer yoghurt, low-fat cottage cheese and wholemeal bread. I always remember that my diet should not only be balanced but also varied.
