Corn Vs Corn

In 1935 DNA was discovered and observed for the first time and in 1972 it was spliced and cut. From food to finding cures for sickness humans have been modifying DNA for decades. Modifying DNA has had benefits for years including creating insulin and making bacteria that cleans up oil spills. We have been consuming it since 1994 when Flavr Savr tomatoes, were approved to be sold in grocery stores. Genetically Modified Organisms have been around for a while now, which is why buyers should have the right to know what is in their food.
Genetically mortified food is food that scientists have taken into a lab and finagled with the genes to either add or take out qualities they want. An example of a food currently released in the markets is corn. Going onto the Bayer CropScience (www.bayercropscience.us), you can find the type of corn you need and give you information on what that specific strain can protect or carry. Corn has been modified to contain vitamins that we need, to have pesticides in the genetic information, the size of corn, and the shape of corn. GMO has modified sweet corn that produces its own insecticide called Bt Toxin. Bt …show more content…
The main argument against this is that it would cost us money and cause lawsuits against farmers and business. Prop 37, if passed, would have given people the right to know if their food had been genetically tampered with at some point in the process-so heating or breaking it apart, would be considered tampered with. The argument against that statement is that the genetically altered food is nutritionally the same as non-genetically altered food and just as safe and therefor would be misleading. Saying that it has been genetically altered because it has been heated up would be misleading
