S: Well, it’s cheaper than natural food because the amount produced is usually larger. S: I see. But isn’t it dangerous? S: Not at all. Farmers have been using GM food technology for years. There’s nothing new about it. S: Really? I’ve never tried GM food. But I’ve heard that it doesn’t taste the same as natural food. S: I don’t think that’s true. Taste tests reveal that it tastes exactly the same as natural food. S: Well, that’ good to know. What about free-range food? What does that mean? S: Free-range food comes from animals that are not given drugs. S: That means it’s cheaper than GM food, right? S: No, it’s actually more expensive. Free-range animals grow less quickly. Farmers have few animals to see, so they tend to sell them at a higher price. S: But, don’t free-range animals have a better life? S: Yes, that’s true. Free-range animals live outside in fields. They are not kept in dark sheds. That’s why we call it free-range food, because the animals are free.
