We all have heard some ridiculous stories on the news of government spending gone awry. Spending cuts are made to fund unnecessary programs, meanwhile education and healthcare programs are lacking. This isn’t always the case, sometimes the programs are for our benefit. One program that has government spending backing it, is the research of GMO’s (genetically modified organisms), and the double edged sword this creates for consumers. GMO’s are in virtually everything that is not certified…

Having a place in paradise is one of the best luxuries that Hawaii has to offer. Picture a nice home with enough room for your family and visiting friends or relatives, a good view of the ocean and nothing but nature surrounding your home. Then imagine waking up to the smell of pesticides in the morning and the nature that once surrounded your home clear cut and replaced with fields of genetically modified corn. This is the current situation that many Hawaii residence are facing as the islands…
Genetically modified foods were started in the year 1973. Scientists have been trying to improve their studies on GMF ever since. A lot of people do not agree with genetically modified plants because of the chemicals that are put into to the foods. None of the chemicals are found extremely harmful but some can become harmful over time especially to the young. Also allergic reactions and intestinal damage can come from GMF. Genetically modified foods can be kept safe from droughts and other…
Introduction There are many types of GMO foods that we can find in our markets and that people consume on a daily basis, one of them being salmon. There are always debates to whether or not it is a worthy food to produce with genetic modifications due to factors such as health for humans and the environment, economic dynamics and ethical and/or social reasons, but it is more logical to say Genetically modified salmon are a big step forward regarding many beneficially implications for our…
There are many types of questions regarding GMOs. For example, what are GMOs? What are some benefits and side effects? Are GMOs healthy or good for or environment? All of these questions will be answered through some research. There are numerous amounts of myths and facts about…
GMOs are plants or animals that go through a process in which their genes are changed by adding DNA from other organisms of a different species to the original plant or animal. GMOs get new desired traits in order to benefit themselves such as getting resistance to disease, or some sort of tolerance. GMOs are one of the most talked about topics in the 21st century and there are many debates that go on. There are studies that go on to test whether GMOs are safe or not. There are too many unknowns…
store shelves contain GMOs. GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, refer to any crop, animal, or organism that has been genetically engineered or modified in some way. These crops and organisms have been genetically altered in a lab to have a certain quality or characteristic that they typically do not have in nature. GMOs have become so prevalent in today’s society that, according to the Non-GMO Project, around 80% of all processed foods in the United States contain GMOs (“GMO Facts”). This…
In 1990, the safety of digesting genetically modified foods (GMOs) was first brought into consideration at a meeting between the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO); however, up until this day the practice of marketing unlabeled GMOs, which also have not been tested for their potential toxicity, is still existent in America. A GMO is defined as any food, plant, or organism that has had its genes manipulated in order to change some aspect of itself so…
desired traits directly into organisms through the use of modern technology and understanding of genetics (Rich 1). Tragically, the amazing potential for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is obscured by fear of potential hazards to environment and health due to inadequate testing. Behind the shade of anxiety, GMOs hold an unparalleled potential to kick-start a green revolution through higher yields and better nutrition. According to the CIA’s World Factbook as of 2016 the population of the…
