we eat both at home and away from home, are made of ingredients that have been genetically modified, meaning that the genes in the ingredients are improved so that they can be better and more improved. Genetically modified foods can range from the rice we consume to the material used to make our clothes. GMO stands for genetically modified organisms. GMOs are organisms that are created through science, specifically through genetic engineering (GE) in order for the organisms to be enhanced or…

There are various health problems occurring with the newly found diets of today which are also affecting the world around it and at least 80 percent of the worlds deforestation is due to the expanding agricultural growth of grains (Caballero 258). The expansion of using more Genetically Modified Crops (GMOs) is a big issue when it comes to health concerns and the harm it does…

In the article “Technology Won’t Feed the World’s Hungry,” Anuradha Mittal discusses the problems with genetically engineered food and economic issues of India. Mittal argues genetically modified food is not a solution to global hunger, because world hunger is an economic problem. I disagree, because GMOS can cure world hunger. The world is becoming more educated and tolerant of genetically modified food, such that any health concerns about GMOS are outweighed by the benefits. There are various…

Evolution is the theory of development from earlier forms. Genetically modified organisms, also known as GMOs, can originate back to ancient nations when they began manipulating different organisms to appease their needs. Today more than 75% of the world’s food is attributed by GMOs, yet only 37% of Americans agree that they are safe to eat. The biggest misconception between scientists and the public is actually over GMOs: 88% of U.S. scientists say genetically modified foods are safe to eat.…

BSE, the E-coli virus were not confined to a single region or country, nor do they spread out to certain social groups in society exclusively.

It is obvious that everyone should be concerned of the environment in which we live, whether rich or poor, developed or developing nations. This knowledge of…

The Plight of the Bumble Bee With the demand for food constantly increasing, modern farmers have taken on new practices to keep up with demands. Some of these practices include genetic modification of plant species and animals, destroying habitats to make room for farm land, and spraying toxic pesticides to keep insects from consuming crops. Some would argue that these practices are necessary for keeping up with todays food demands, while others may argue that their negative side effects are…
