Green Revolution becomes a Genetic Revolution
Food is obviously a necessary resource for the average person. It is a known natural resource that feeds all living species. However, from the film GMO OMG by Jeremy Seifer, it reveals that not all foods are natural, introducing genetically modified organisms, also known as GMO’s. GMO’s are organisms that have genetic material that has been altered in a way that is unnatural. Surrounding GMO’s lies economical, environmental, and societal dilemma’s that people have faced, as well as benefits for industries and farmers. However, most people, the consumer, have no idea what GMO’s are and do not realize that they are probably consuming genetically modified organisms. Before consumption, is the plant …show more content…
In the film GMO OMG, Jeremy Seifert takes it upon himself to research and discover the controversies behind genetically modified organisms. What motivated to start his quest were his children, trying to figure out whether it could even be possibility for his family to stop consuming GMO’s. Jeremy took it upon himself to interview multiple both commercial and organic farms who were for GMO’s and against GMO’s to gain more information different point’s of views on genetically modified food and why some partake in it. Throughout his journey, he had limited his family from consuming a lot of processed foods, but had discovered that GMO’s will somehow always make it into their food chain, whether it be through them consuming it directly or where certain product originated from. Jeremy didn’t take any major action to make a world a better place, but the idea and motivation to make the world a better place for his children was Utilitarian. The access and planting of GMO’s seeds could also be seen as utilitarian through some farmers and those pro-GMO’s, because it has provided an abundance of crop, able to feed over 14 billion people per day. Being that the world is constantly populating, genetically modified foods have allowed farmers to keep the world fed (Seifert). On top of that GMO’s benefit farmers by preventing any pesticides, weeds, and diseases that can harm the crop, and food is able to last longer whether it be on shelves or transportation to feed people around the world. Sustainability is created by having GMO’s and with this innovation people will always be fed and never go hungry (Benefits of GM
