Genetically modified food controversies

safety issues when donating food. There is a belief among manufacturers, retailers and restaurants that there is little protection from lawsuits when it comes to food donations. There are clear misunderstandings and misconceptions of the law among employees and workers simply look past it without looking further into it. These beliefs are not based on experience, as there are no documented cases of criminal or liability charges against food donors who have donated food that later caused harm to…

“You Are What You Eat,” “It’s our right to know what’s in our food. Pledge to choose non-GMO” (Non-GMO Project). Theses words are written boldly on an advertisement for the Non-GMO Project. I would agree with two of the three statements on this advertisement, one, “you are what you eat” and two, “it’s our right to know what’s in our food.” There is nothing wrong with being an advocate for good health practices, nor transparency. However, I feel that the Non-GMO Project left out a whole…

Food Manufactures Are Deadly When was the last time you consumed Genetically Modified foods? Us humans consume Genetically Modified Organisms on a daily basis without knowing. Genetically Modified foods are everywhere due to the increase of the population. The population has increased dramatically, this means we need to produce more food in order to feed everyone. In the United States, Genetically Modified Organisms are in over eighty percent of our food. GMOs or Genetically Modified Organisms…

Ali3 Many people have a huge misconception about GMOs especially GM foods that they are harmful to both the human body and the environment, but various studies have proven quite the opposite. GMOs can bring a plethora of benefits to almost every industry ranging from medical use to agricultural but is held back by a majority that believes in false accusations and unsupported studies. GMOs have the backing of almost every scientist and person who knows even a little about the subject of…

To begin with, the article I have chosen is called Genetically Engineered Pink Pineapple Is Safe to Sell, FDA Says and I found it on nbcnews.com. On December 14th “a strain of pineapple genetically engineered to be pink instead of yellow got the go-ahead from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration”(nbcnews.com). This spectacular fruit was created by Del Monte Fresh Produce and will soon be making its debut on the market.This new pineapple gets its bizarre color by simply toning down its genes to…

Genetically modified food is a controversial subject some see it as the future of agriculture others see it as dangerous. Michael Pollan author of “Playing God in the Garden” addresses that in his essay in one paragraph, in particular, he claims that “Uncertainty is the theme that unifies much of the criticism leveled against biotech agriculture by scientist and environmentalists.” Pollan believes that people are opposed to biotech agriculture because so much about it remains unknown. He chose…

by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. GMOs, that is, genetically modified organisms, can create many positive outcomes, such as, helping lessen the world’s starvation problem by the increase of food production due to the ability of genetic modifications. Further research and implementation of GMOs could improve everyday life for people of all social statuses from needy to prosperous. GMOs can reduce the needs for pesticides, increase the hardiness of food yielding plants, and…

begins. This section will delve into assessing the scientific arguments anti-GM groups present. Additionally, these scientifically based arguments are what policy makers use in order to justify their regulatory decisions on potential ecological and food safety risks. There are difficulties in identifying and locating genes for gene scientists. Researchers have limited knowledge on the agriculturally significant genes such as increased plant hardiness, increased yield,or even environmental…

You shouldn't have to worry what's in your food,and we need to be educated on GMOs before we label them as bad, and I think we should have to label if there are GMOs in an item. Then you’ll know exactly what's in your food and the big companies will not be able to hide it. A lot of big companies want to hide the fact that they use GMOs.Companies like Coca-Cola and Monsanto and many others have spent vast sums of money to sway the voters.We should be able to know what's in the stuff we buy,…

Genetically Modified Organisms Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs, are created when a gene from one organism artificially changed through genetic engineering. By adding DNA from one plant, bacteria, or virus, the original organism will inherit its new attributes. Scientists created GMO’s seize parts of DNA from different kinds of organisms and attempt to intertwine them together to create a new, better product. Genetically modified organisms are unhealthy and should be banned. Several…
