    For years, there has been a serious debate regarding whether genetically modified foods are safe for consumption. Due to this seemingly everlasting controversy came the rise of pro-GMO and anti-GMO groups. To truly understand the severity of the issue, it is important to first understand what exactly a “GMO” is and why it supposedly poses a threat to civilization. A Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is an organism in which “genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially placed into another plant or animal” (Institute for Responsible Technology). Doing so allows for a crop to grow at a higher yield and lower cost.…

    It is sad to think that 93% of crops grown in the U.S are genetically modified and our government cares more about a profit than its peoples health. GMOs must be stopped. The government is using GMOs to get a better yield out of their crops and to help fight against pesticides. But when fighting against pests they have to genetically modify our food so they can spray it down with a whole bunch of pesticides and in the end you are eating what was drenched in pesticides. Humans and animals are consuming GMOs and GMOs could be harmful to our health.…

    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. Since the public is reluctant to dive into details, they are easily swayed by weak arguments about the ethicality of GMOs.…

    Most developed countries do not consider GMOs to be safe. At least 26 countries have banned GMOs including: Switzerland, Australia, Austria, China, India, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy, Mexico and Russia. So, where is the United States in all of this? There is much controversy and debate about GMOs and genetic modification in the U.S., but the United States government has not passed any legislation to ban the use of genetic modification, and in some cases, the company doesn’t even have to label that there are genetically modified organisms in their food. Since the United States does not ban GMOs, what would our food supply look like without any genetic modifications?…

    Seeds of Death is an enjoyable documentary that admonishes its audience on a relevant topic. It evaluates a major societal issue, the use of genetically-modified foods, in such depth that it is almost impossible to perceive that it is not an issue. It uses vivid, factual details to form the basis of the argument that GMO’s have already been observed as detrimental to animal and human health. For almost centuries, corporations such as Monsanto and Du Pointe have been aware of these adverse effects. Not only this, they have paid government officials in order to prevent legislature that requires them to inform their consumers if their food was genetically-modified.…

    GMOs: The Manmade Super Food Or the Genetic Atomic Bomb? GMOs, like many other things, start from good intentions, but the effect it can and does have on the planet, the animals and people aren’t so good. It's great to live in the present but sometimes we have to put the future first. Genetic engineering (or GE) food started in the late 1990’s; 1996 to be more precise.

    Genetically Modified Organisms Do you really know what’s really in your food? Have you ever even wondered if it is even safe? Genetically Modified Organisms are one of the biggest and most dangerous government corruptions. If you are not informed on the term Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs, they are the result of a laboratory process of taking genes from one species and inserting them into another, in an attempt to obtain a desired trait or characteristic. When an animal or plant is genetically modified, their DNA is altered, which does not occur naturally.…

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 kinds of GMOS, however I will be discussing GMOS as it relates to agriculture needs.…

Today, less than two percent of the population is involved with farming in any way, but in reality it’s not farming.
