What are genetically modified organisms? Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering. Throughout the United States, the majority of the crops have been totally modified with genetic engineering. Lots of food we eat today is now genetically modified, and we do not really know if what we are eating is natural or non-natural. This has made a great impact in American agricultural world, and it has increased the amount of Americans that do not want this type of food on their tables. It is time to abolish genetically modified organisms in the United States.
First of all, the corruption of these modified organisms. Big companies such as Monsanto, the biotechnology corporation that provides 90% of the genetically engineered seeds used in the US market, have been telling lies about the food they produce, and how its company works. GM crops have been disastrous for farmers in the United States. A new report by Britain’s Soil Association shows that over the last three years, GM crops have cost the American taxpayers over $12 billion (in farm subsidies). Also small farmers are pushed out of business. According to seattleorganicrestaurants.org, more and more small farmers are pushed …show more content…
These organisms that have been modified to be part of our food not only have changed the way we see our food now, but also have made a big impact in the big companies that use destructive chemicals in foods. Do we want to see how our bodies are being destroyed by these organisms that they call food? It is time we change that by joining walks on the streets or convince companies to not use genetic engineering in our food. In depends on us if we want to keep eating food that is not healthy for us, and most important, it depends on the future of our
