Answer 1

What's the question?

Answer 2

Paraphrase the following passage without using quotations.

Most people in the United States don't realize that they've been eating genetically engineered foods since the mid-1990s. More than 60 percent of all processed foods on U.S. supermarket shelves—including pizza, chips, cookies, ice cream, salad dressing, corn syrup, and baking powder—contain ingredients from engineered soybeans, corn, or canola.

In the past decade or so, the biotech plants that go into these processed foods have leaped from hothouse oddities to crops planted on a massive scale—on 130 million acres in 13 countries, among them Argentina, Canada, China, South Africa, Australia, Germany, and Spain. On U.S. farmland, acreage planted with genetically engineered crops jumped nearly 25-fold from 3.6 million acres in 1996 to 88.2 million acres in 2001. More than 50 different "designer" crops have passed through a federal review process, and about a hundred more are undergoing field trials.^1

OK, I hope this helps.
Unbeknown to most Americans, we have been eating genetically engineered foods for almost 20 years. In fact, most processed food sold in stores has been genetically engineered. During this time, over a dozen countries have begun to produce the plants that are used in these foods. Genetically engineered farming has increased rapidly in the U.S. Many new types of plants have been approved, and dozens more are being tested.
