Pinholster discloses, “Foods containing ingredients from genetically modified (GM) crops pose no greater risk than the same foods made from crops modified by conventional plant breeding techniques, the AAAS Board of Directors has concluded”(Ginger Pinholster). What the author means by this is that even though plants are made by genetically engineering, the plant isn’t any more harmful over a plant that was grown by natural breeding. This also explains that just because of the ingredients that it contains it doesn’t mean that it will result in being dangerous to your body. Even though some believe that is will not cause a threat to the state of your body, others do.

These meals were already blended and drinkable through a convenient straw. This story is a warning to children and people everywhere that if food continues to progress at the rate that it is now, our society could be just as the society in Wall-E. Genetically transformed food are a shortcut to growing foods naturally. If society doesn’t notice the warnings that have been put out by history, literature and films, the rate at which food is slowly becoming easier to create will begin progressing
