The Pros And Cons Of Genetically Modified Foods

Decent Essays
In the United States, it is required by law that food made with genetically modified organisms, or more commonly referred to as GMOs, be labeled. Lawmakers may argue that consumers have the right to this information, but because of the general misconception that GMOs are dangerous and unhealthy, these labels can steer consumers away from buying certain products. In some scenarios, there are people arguing to end use of GMOs in general. Alder (2016), the author of “There is no Consumer Right to Know,” argues that labeling GMOs on food products could potentially be considered unconstitutional. He makes this argument due to the fact that there is a lack of scientific evidence that GMOs are harmful to humans in any way. Because the average person

    GMO’s are foods that have been genetically altered to have the most desirable characteristics. There are individuals who want to these foods to come with labels while others think it is a bad idea. In article one, “Although Some GMO Sympathizers Embrace Mandatory Labeling, It’s A Disaster In Waiting,” by Jon Entine, argues that sticking labels on GMOs will create problems and there no need to for them. Article two, “Even if GMOs are safe, mandatory labeling is a good Idea,” by Mahni Ghorashi, argues that labeling GMOs is a good idea and a human right.…

    In “The Threats from Genetically Modified Foods”, Robin Mather effectively brings awareness to the American public of the harmful side effects of genetically modified (GM) foods. She shares that genetically modified foods are foods with an altered genetic make-up. This alteration has lead them to be banned in several countries. However, in the United States, GM foods are not strictly regulated and, therefore, not required to be labeled. Also, the pesticides used in genetically modified foods yield harmful side effects in animals and humans.…

    Since the FDA’s regulatory policy concluded that there would be no premarket evaluation process for GM products, it has approved variety of GM foods without any labeling requirement. This has led to the increasing consumers’ concern about the overall safety of GMOs. In several protests, Consumers have expressed their concerns about the lack of premarket safety evaluation of GMOs and also called for mandatory GMO labeling, but to no avail. In many occasions, the FDA has declined to address the consumers’ concerns. To date, the FDA has maintained its 1992 GMO policy, explaining that they have resource limitations and other regulatory priorities to address any safety evaluation and labeling issues regarding GM products (Landa, 2014).…

    GMOs is an important topic of social and ethical debate that is always going to be controversial. Being informed on the food we are consuming, and the way modern agricultural techniques are affecting the environment, is important. Labels make it easier for shoppers to make healthier non GMO choices. When enough people avoid GMOs, food companies will assess the situation, as to them it is all about the money and how they can manipulate the growth of their product to be more productive. Some of the Major food industries already realizing that the non GMO claim gives them a competitive edge.…

    One may skim over how many grams of sugar, fat, cholesterol, or protein an item contains, but do shoppers ever think to check if what they are holding has been labeled with the letters ‘GMO’? Currently, 64 countries have demanded genetically altered foods to be distinguished and made the labeling of them a requirement. In the U.S., Vermont was the first to pass the labeling of GM foods as a law, and will start in 2016 (Gasparro). Petitions have been presented, and the fight to have these controversial ingredients identified has not yet yielded any long term results. In an interview, Julia Kallas pleas to the government to “listen to the millions of citizens who have petitioned to label genetically engineered foods” and take action because they should “give people the right to know what they’re eating”.…

    Miller is a physician and molecular biologist who believes that there can be plenty of harm done by putting GMO food labels on produce at the supermarket. In Miller’s article, “GMO Food Labels are Meaningless,” he disagrees with the Vermont Act 120 that requires labels on foods that have been produced or partially produced from an organism in which the genetic material has been changed. The Vermont law was passed to reduce and prevent confusion among consumers, yet Miller opposes this idea. Miller reports, “Activists may believe they are empowering consumers, but in truth they are distracting them from substantive issues such as product quality, safety, and value.” Miller writes that since the early 1900’s plant breeders have been testing and performing “wide-cross” hybridizations on plants and cultivating those with desirable traits.…

    Humans have a natural tendency to prefer perfection and to judge by looks. If one tomato looks more red and round than another, that’s the one that will be selected at the supermarket. However, in this case, judging by good looks instead of quality is to the buyer’s disadvantage. Much of the food in America has been genetically modified to look and feel perfect, yet there are many risks that come along with it. While they may look pretty, genetically modified organisms carry major health risks, have harsh impact on the environment, and have significant impact in the production of corn which is one of America’s unhealthiest crops.…

    Every human loves to eat food, but does humans really know what is in these foods. Although certain foods are different, there has been controversies on Genetically Modified Foods around the globe. GM foods consist of growing foods with genetically engineered materials that don’t normally occur naturally. GM foods are created with various selected genes that come from one organism which is then transferred to another. Genetically Modified foods are quite controversial because GM foods enhance the taste, there is suspected health risks and potential negative effects on the environment when growing.…

    “Genetically Modified Organism” is an article that defines genetically modified organisms (GMOs), explains genetic engineering and biotechnology, and describes the types of GMOs and the potential advantages and disadvantages of GMOs. According to Paul Phifer (2011), the author of “Genetically Modified Organism”, a GMO is: “an organism whose genetic structure has been altered by incorporating one or more single genes from another” (para. 1). This article further explains that DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule (in most organisms) that contains genetic information (Phifer, 2011). Sections of DNA made up of exons, nucleotides that code for genetic instructions, form genes. These exons can be rearranged, added or removed due to catalysis caused by specific enzymes.…

    Are GMOs “living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory,” which results in “unstable conditions…that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods” (Non GMO Project)? Or is genetic engineering simply a process that “takes a beneficial trait that helps a living thing thrive in nature…and adapts that trait to a new plant so it can better survive in its environment” (Monsanto)? Can new biotechnologies and GMOs solve global nutrition challenges? A more accurate term may be transgenic’—any organism whose genetic makeup has been altered by adding genetic material from another, unrelated organism. This, too, has its own exceptions with altered and synthesized genes.…

    Over the past decade, the United States of America has seen an increase in genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and herbicidal crops. With the rise of GMOs in the United States, a chasm has been created between scientific evidence and the public 's perception of GMOs. On one side, scientifical research has not concluded that GMOs are a health risk but also there is no proof that GMOs are completely safe for consumer consumption. Anti-GMO activists are also on the rise, protesting that GMOs are unnatural, harmful and should require mandatory GMO labeling laws. GMOs are becoming more and more prevalent and are increasing in grocery stores inventories as large corporations use GMOs to their advantage due to their simplicity and production…
