There are a lot more humans than there used to be, and the human population is continuing to grow.https://ourworldindata.org/world-population-growth/ This creates a problem by giving the world a lot more mouths to feed. A solution to solve this problem can be genetically modified organisms. We can utilize GEs crops to help sustain our rapidly growing population and even end world hunger as our genetically…
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…
Genetic Modification Genetically modifying food is a widely and strongly debated topic. This is important because genetically modified food can resolve most, if not all our food related problems. Many people think genetically modified foods are ingenious, but many others believe that they are unnatural and are hurting parts of the economy. Genetically modified foods now contain such as vitamins and fibres, but it also can harm the animals being genetically modified. Genetically modified food…
the number phi is arguably one of the most popular numbers in existence. With it’s staggering number of names ranging from the Divine ratio to the Golden Mean, phi demonstrates incredible connections and patterns in nature prominently evident facial composition, logo design, and artwork done by the renaissance artist Leonardo Da Vinci . The Golden Ratio is astoundingly prominent in facial dispositions in humans, some basic examples include side of face to inside of near eye to opposite of face…
Genetically modified foods, or GMO’s, are, “A genetically modified organism or crop containing genetic material that has been artificially altered so as to produce a desired characteristic.” (Oxford University Press (2016), oxforddictionaries.com) The seven most common GMO foods are corn, soy, yellow squash and zucchini, alfalfa, canola, sugar beets, and milk. About 85% of all corn is genetically modified to resist herbicides, which are used to kill weeds. We consume corn in many different…

How Safe Are GMO (Genetically modified organisms) Large numbers of GMO activists see GMO foods as a danger to the environment and the human immune system. They call these foods frankenfoods because they aren’t naturally made and don’t provide any offspring. These types of foods are made in laboratories. Scientists developed GMFs so that they could stay fresh longer and to be resistant to insects and animals and etc. "Genetically modified foods have been linked to toxic and allergic…
Lots of people die each year because to starvation and disease. Some scientists think that they have found a helpful tool to use for these problems, GMOs. The only problem is other scientist think that GMOs are not safe. In the 1990s GMOs, which stands for Genetically Modified Organisms, was discovered. Our genes make us who we are because they control our looks and the things that we do. By modifying genes we can change the way something looks, acts and what they do. Genetic modification is…
Millions of Americans consume genetically modified food on a daily basis without them even noticing or acknowledging its existence. According to World Health Organization, Genetically Modified Foods is referred as, "...foods derived from organisms whose genetic material, DNA has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally...”. However the government assures that GMOs, genetically modified organisms, are not dangerous to consume, but not all civilians are convinced. Therefore,…
Bisphenol-A Bisphenol-A is a chemical compound used in the manufacturing of lightweight plastic and epoxy. According to www.bisphenol-a.org, it “possesses a unique balance of toughness, optical clarity, high heat resistance and excellent electrical resistance.” The chemical compound is used in the mass production of plastic bottles used for housing many cleaning solutions. In addition, it is used a sealant to line canned goods, produce sports water bottles, baby bottles, and a variety of…
