Position Paper The stigma against genetically modified foods kill people. How, you think? How does simply an idea cause the death of thousands of people? First of all, genetic modification is the direct manipulation of an organism 's genome by changing the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms. Genetically modified organisms are food crops that have been created through the application of transgenic,…

The best recommendations are: olive oil, canola oil, sesame oil, avocado oil (or eating avocado). You can also receive daily intake of good oil by eating nuts, sunflower seeds, flaxseed, soybeans or seafood. On the third, fourth, fifth and sixth rows of the pyramid, you will find food that is…

Attention Getter: Imagine an apple. Imagine a crisp red apple with hues of green mixed in. Now grasp the apple and take a small bite out of it. The satisfyingly sweet taste of grape is spreading throughout your… wait, your apple didn’t taste like that? Mine did, or at least it could through the process of genetic engineering. Listener Relevance: From our local Service Food grocery store to a Wal-mart Supercenter, we are living in an era where genetically modified foods are all around us. Since…

nutrition consumption principles. For example, “healthy foods provide an individual with a balanced diet that meets national dietary guidelines and provides plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat dairy products and healthy fats like olive and canola oil and protein, such as lean meats and legumes.” (Access to Healthy Foods Coalition in Washington, Washington State Department of Health and Center for Public Health Nutrition, 2010, p. 2) Based on the Food and Drug Administration,…

Negative Effects of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) The GMOs (Genetically modified organisms) are defined by WHO (World Health Organization) as the organisms which are altered genetically (DNA) in a manner that does not happen naturally, and that is done to confer to the desirable features. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are formed by transferring a gene from one species to another, establishing something that does not happen naturally. A big portion of domestic crops contain DNA…

Do The Pros of GMO’s outweigh the Cons? Since the introduction on the genetically modified organism in the mid to late 1990’s many people have debated on their economic and environmental impact, as well as their safety for human consumption. Many companies like Monsanto and Dow Agro-science that produce these bioengineered foods have conducted research on the topics of environmental and economic benefits as well as the safety of GMO foods. The results of the studies conclude that genetically…

Today’s special menu is, “Fingerling Potatoes with Waxmoth Genes (served with sour cream from bovine growth hormone treated cows), Braised Pork Loin with Human Growth Genes, and Rice Pudding with Pea and Bacteria Genes…Bon Appetit!” (Hart 11). Unknown genetically modified genes such as <> have been inputted into plentitudes of crops, unknown for their safety for human consumption and environmental effects. According to the UCSUSA, “None of the genetically modified food crops currently on…

For the dietary analysis, I was surprised to learn how much of a deficit there was between the recommended amount of calories to maintain my current weight and how many calories I actually consumed. Both days I was not even close to hitting 2,000 calories, which is a relief and a concern at the same time. By that, I mean I was relieved to know that I did not eat excess calories, but am concerned that I’m not eating enough. I was also surprised to see how much of everything (dairy, grains, etc.)…

2.2 Labour Permanent staff Boss- Campbell. Campbell is responsible for all of the, key decision making, policies and practices that go on within the operation. Campbell also delegates many of the daily jobs and manages all of the workers. Campbell is not always present on the farm due to having responsibilities within the Goat Cooperative. Campbell is slowly distributing more and more reasonability to the workers as he is wanting to have less involvement within the day to day running of the…

2.3 Fats The word fats refer to the lipid food group and it is used to mean both fats and oils. The unseparated fats and oil in foods such as grains, nuts, dairy products, eggs and meats are the example of ‘invisible’ fats that usually more than fifty per cent of our normal fats intake (Ghotra et al, 2002). Fats and oils are calorie-dense food item which give nine calories per gram compared to the carbohydrates and proteins which are four calories per gram respectively. Foods that rich in fats…
