A genetically modified food is a food product containing some quantity of any genetically modified organism as an ingredient. (Wikipedia) Plants, animals and microorganisms can all be genetically modified and have their protein structure altered in order to possess more desired characteristics that usually benefit the human race. Generally modified foods have a number of advantages such as feeding the entire world whose population is likely to double in the next 50 years. With all advantages…

When the crops containing GMOs are sold they are labeled to let the consumer know what’s in the food they are buying. Many argue that foods containing GMOs are harmful to consume and so they boycott products such as corn syrup, cornmeal, and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) since they derive from corn. Soy is one of the crops that are altered Smith states that, “Currently commercialized GM crops in the U.S. include soy (94%).” In other words soy is the top crop that is modified. Other foods that…

bodies. These animals were given a special diet that consisted of GE corn and soy that contained toxic proteins of the bacteria Bacillus Thuriengensis. This bacteria is used as an insecticide to kill insect pest that can damage corn, soy, cotton, canola, and other crops (Samsel). Studies showed that rats being fed fish that consumed GE grains got bigger and fatter faster than those that were on a regular diet (Samsel). In his article Samsel states,…

Stronger paraffin candles were once created by combining paraffin with a form of fat called stearin. Solid beeswax candles are another commonly used type of candle. These candles are made with wax that has been created as an effect of pollination of the canola, sunflowers, or sweet flower plants. Beeswax candles are smooth, dense, and can burn for quite a lot of time. When they are lit, beeswax candles don’t sputter, smoke, or drip. Soy candles are also a popular choice for candle-lovers. Soy…

modified organisms (GMOs) and will explain how GMOs are made. Since the 1980s, more research and technology has pushed for further use of GMOs in crops. During this time, the United States has mostly used GMOs in crops such as soy, corn, cotton, and canola. I will cover the different uses of GMOs from the introduction of these alternations until the present uses of today’s advancement in gene duplicating technologies. In this paper, key questions such as, which foods in the supermarket use GMOs…

The world we live in is changing daily. Fossil fuel consumption has to be reduced, before our planet can begin to repair the damage man has caused. “It is estimated the world uses 87.8 million barrels of crude oil a day” (Friedman 195). “In 2000 it was estimated that the US consumed nearly 20 million barrels of oil a day, which is about 5% more than similar nations” (195). Oil consumption demand is going to increase as long as the supply can meet the demand. Once the supply is depleted, the…

Even though Genetically Modified crops are feeding children in poverty stricken nations; they are destroying the ecosystem and are diminishing water sources. They will cross pollinate with local wildlife they will cross breed plants that secrete their own pesticides and herbicides. This will cause bugs to eat the plants, killing off some, but the ones that will survive will have obtained a resistance to the pesticide through natural selection, rendering the original gene totally and utterly…

As the production of agriculture evolves, so does the research on genetically engineered foods, which large corporations fund and create. A prominent example of an enterprise that supports and emanates considerable funds towards genetically modified foods, is Monsanto. Monsanto is a viable agriculture company that owns and sells genetically engineered seeds. Monsanto uses their funds towards biotechnology, the abuse of biological processes, for industrial use like genetic engineering. In this…
