    brought up is to genetically modify crops to grow in certain climates so that they can be planted locally and won’t have to travel as far. This would reduce fossil fuel consumption and ultimately improve the health of the planet. Though this could possibly benefit the earth, genetically modified (GM) crops tend to cause more problems than solve them. The Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) industry is brutal towards its employees. GMO foods are affecting consumer diets. Genetically modifying…

    First, genetically modified organisms have been used in the food process for quite some time now. They have grown to be very popular, very quickly. In the article, “The State of Science”, the author Stuart Newman, comments that “Some critics suggested that the quality and safety of fruits and vegetables could be impaired, making them allergenic or toxic to humans” (Newman, 2013, p. 24). Worries of the food becoming toxic, or allergenic to humans arose, but regardless, the discovery of GMO’s came…

    farmers have been observing their crops through generations and utilizing the benefits of selective breeding to achieve desired results. Historically, this was done by simply choosing which organisms are allowed to reproduce, but recent developments in food science have produced Genetically Modified Organisms. Some find the process of physically rearranging genes to be frightening and unacceptable, while others fully embrace GMOs as the natural next step in future technology. The GMO debate is…

    Ever since the mid 1990’s, our produce and at least 60% of the U.S. processed foods have been modified genetically.

Genetic engineering has a been a successful technology but still doesn’t grant a vigorous impression to everyone among the world. Many ponder whether it will be beneficial forever or if we are only digging up our own…

    The “faster and cheaper” way of producing food for the large consuming global markets and human population: Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s), artificial foods that have been changed so that it can include the desirable traits of other foods. Although the idea behind GMO’s is morally good, it is actually doing more harm than good. GMO’s are exhausting the planet’s resources much more quickly than the planet can make up for. Animals feed on these resources but GMOs are creating an ecological…

    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…

    The author, Matthew Feldmann identifies that there have been recent arguments about the safety of GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms. He particularly notes that most debate has come in the areas of crops, specifically rice and soybeans, some of the staple crops of diets worldwide. He uses the rhetorical device of logos, a way of persuading the targeted audience by employing reason or logic, by claiming that although “foods derived from GM crops have been consumed by hundreds of millions of…
