The article addresses an important issue which often raises public concerns due to the unfamiliarity and historical associations of genetic alterations, particularly when they relate to something so critical to our health - i.e. food.

The article does not sufficiently explain the advantages of gene editing. The brief explanations of different types of DNA alterations are confusing, poorly evidenced and add little to the story.

The language is clear and accessible, but there is no referencing or evidence linked to the discussion points. However, I think the balance is generally good on making sure people understand the positive and negative attitudes towards GM tech. BUT they do not emphasise that most scientists do not think GM is going to be harmful for onward food consumption.

A fairly clear overview of the topic, though I think the descriptions of techniques could be simplified and the article could focus more on providing a balanced overview of the potential benefits and concerns. Additional links to relevant articles and websites providing more information would improve it.

Interesting article with well written arguments and appropriate visual aids. However no external references or links to peer reviewed articles are included.
