She argues that the sustainability of the world depends on the sharing of resources, diversity of crops, as well as respect…

GMO’s There are two main reasons why I am against GMO use in crops. The first reason is, farmers have the ability to put whatever they want into their foods. Many GMO’s have the ability to cause damage to the inner body. My second reason is, some of what farmers put into the plants and animals gets washed away. The chemical that gets washed away is a pollutant called glyphosate. It gets washed away into the streams that the fish live in and into the air that we breath. GMO’s cause major…

In India, “thousands of sheep buffalo, and goats… died after grazing on Bt cotton plants”(GMO Dangers 1). In North America, farmers have reported that after feeding their pigs GM corn, the pigs had low conception rates, became sterile, or had false pregnancies. After eating GM corn, twelve cows died in Germany. Also, “other cows in the herd developed a mysterious illness and had to be killed” (The Good, Bad and Ugly about GMOs 5). Rats fed Bt corn “showed significant changes in their blood…

Work Cited Kreipe, Marie. Genetically Modified Food. Hamburg, DE: Diplomica Verlag, 2010. ProQuest ebrary. Web. 23 March 2016.

Weed killers contain chemicals to control weeds. A chemical called glyphosate kills weeds by preventing protein essential to plant growth. Weed killers mainly contain glyphosate which is believed to stop plants from producing certain molecules called amino acids. Plants make amino acids from scratch in order to live. On the other hand, people and some animals receive these amino acids from eating plants because they do not have the ability to make amino acids for they lack enzymes that are…

Before completing this exercise, my initial position on genetically modified foods was that they were safe and healthy for people to eat. My character for the reacting to the past Africa game was the role as a Monsanto scientist who was on the pro-GMO faction side. One of the responsibilities for my character was to convince the Africans that there are no reasons scientifically that they shouldn’t accept corn. For my argument, I wrote that corn should be safe for Africans because they are…

In my opinion I think we should stop using GMO food because it a presents several problem for human health and environment. First of all, a huge concern about GMO food is may cause of high risk allergies because it no test that guarantee that GMO will not cause allergies. The article “Genetically Modified Foods May Cause Allergic Response” describe a classical understanding of why a GM crop might create new allergies is that the imported genes produce a new protein, which has never before been…
