Over 75% of food in grocery stores in genetically modified food (Smith). In the past 10 years our worlds population has grown tremendously. Farmers struggle with keeping up because of drought, floods, and other environmental problems; therefore, they tried to come up with a way to increase yield. The result had lots of cons and pros. They came up with GMO’s which is a different version of the original plant. The GMO foods should be illegal and stopped being distributed to farmers. Although some people may people that GMOs are safe, GMO foods should be illegal and distribution stopped because they are harmful to humans abd the environment around then where they are planted. One reason why GMO food and distribution should be stopped is the

When farmers use the GMO seeds they have to use a lot of herbicides, which is expensive (Robbins). The seeds that they use are made to be resistant to herbicides so that the herbicides only kill the weeds around them but actually the crops pass traits. Making the weeds also more resistant to the poison. Then the farmers have to spend more money on herbicides. Also, When people use these herbicides they are not only harming the plants but they are also harming the animals around them (Robbins). When the genes are passed to the weeds they are also spread throughout the environment. When animals eat the plants that have those genes they are often hurt or seriously injured. when the farmers use the extra herbicides to kill the immune weees they are putting a lot more pollution in the air (Robbins). The farmers have to use more herbicides to kill the weeds. When they use more and more herbicides it creates a lot of pollution, which we all know is not good. One could say that it saves money because it is insect resistant, but what food is natural when insects can not eat …show more content…
One can 't ever get rid of gmo seeds because they travel and keep reproducing (Smith) GMO seeds through the environment so fast so they can 't be stopped. The seeds fly all over they place and the plant then passes its traits over. If we stop the use of them the spread of them will be reduced greatly. When creating these gmo seeds harmful toxins can be created in the process (Smith). The job of a biotech engineer can be very dangerous. In the process of making the seeds there can be other harmful effects. yield has only went down since they have started using the se gmo seeds (Smith) The seeds that the farmers are using are not increasing yield at all. Scientist say that in the past 20 years farmers yield has dropped nearly
