On Friday the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) approved a genetically engineered "Super Potato". This amazing potato is resistant to bruising and cuts down on a possible cancer-causing substance. the bad thing is that some people aren't so sure about it and are a little concerned about it. The potato contains the DNA of other kinds of potatoes mixed in through a process known as RFA interference technology. So people are concerned about RNA interference technology to determine whether GE crops developed with it are safe for people and the environment because they just don't know enough about it. The potato minimizes the creation of an amino acid that at high temperatures reacts with certain chemicals to become a substance the International Agency for Research on Cancer has called a “probably human substance or agent that tends to produce a cancer.
Do think they should continue the "Super potato"? Explain.
Is this going to be big? Explain.

Good job! Not sure why so few comments.
I agree it could put many people at risk
I think that if it could cause cancer then they shouldnt continue to use it. I dont think that it is going to be a big thing.
