BSE, the E-coli virus were not confined to a single region or country, nor do they spread out to certain social groups in society exclusively. It is widely known fact that, environmental hazards have no boundaries and are universalized by water, air, food chains and winds. Therefore, the question is who is not worried about the environment? It is obvious that everyone should be concerned of the environment in which we live, whether rich or poor, developed or developing nations. This knowledge of…

The Plight of the Bumble Bee With the demand for food constantly increasing, modern farmers have taken on new practices to keep up with demands. Some of these practices include genetic modification of plant species and animals, destroying habitats to make room for farm land, and spraying toxic pesticides to keep insects from consuming crops. Some would argue that these practices are necessary for keeping up with todays food demands, while others may argue that their negative side effects are…

014). For that, Myrter and Castle Cheese employees should not be held accountable for adding cellulose, when it is perfectly allowed by the FDA. As for the Listeria issue, in this case, all the blame should not fall into the hands Michelle Myrter. For example, the FDA sent inspectors to Castle Cheese, the inspectors found Listeria on their property (Beach, C. 2016). The FDA states that Castle Cheese continued to manufacture fake and real cheese products from March 22, 2012, through November 9,…

Growing potatoes on mars? Yes, It could be a real possibility for the future for not just to see if they can survive the harsh conditions but, maybe even adapt to them. In the passage “Spuds or duds? Movie magic may become a reality for astronauts”I think the overall branch of science was life science or “a branch of science (such as biology, medicine, and sometimes anthropology or sociology) that deals with living organisms and life processes” "Life Science.

Genetically modified (GM) crops seem to be the solution to feeding billions of people, although their negative long-term impacts are still a heavily debated…

Image yourself lying on the grass watching the sky when all of a sudden you see a hawk. As you watch the hawk, it starts to circle around. Then it dives! As the hawk ascends, you see that it caught a mouse. This bird along with many others are called birds of prey. Eagles, hawks, and falcons are three species of the numerous kinds of birds of prey. One kind of eagle is the bald eagle. The bald eagle is from the genus Haliaetus leucocephalus. The bald eagle's head, neck, and tail are white, and…

When eating, many people question what is in the food they’re consuming and how it is produced. It has become a lifestyle in this day and age to eat organic in order to avoid eating food produced with chemicals or unnecessary additives. One of these unnecessary additives in foods are GMOs. Genetically modified organisms are any organisms whose genetic material has been altered by chemical engineering. Those who work with genetically modified food state that GMOs are present in some foods because…

You may find that organic food is more expensive and different in appearance from conventional products. Also, just because something says "organic," it does not mean that it doesn't contain GMOs. In fact, it can still contain up to 30% GMOs, so if you want organic, be sure the label says 100% organic. If you live in U.S. and Canada buy food labeled 100% organic because the U.S. and Canadian governments do not allow manufacturers to label something 100% organic if that food has been genetically…

Nature has enslaved people since the beginning of time. As humans have developed they have overcome oceans, plagues, nomadism, and other organisms. Most recently scientists have created means to overcome the biological constraints of agriculture, and the plant that has contributed the most is corn. Pollan stated. “corn has done more than any other species to help the food industry realize the dream of freeing food from nature’s limitations.(91)” thesis Modern corn now is genetically changed to…

In her article “The Ethical Dilemma of Genetically Modified Food”, Valeria Jefferson presents the conflict society is currently facing in the matter of the inherent ethics of genetically modified food (GMF). She addresses points on both sides of the argument, giving the reader a broad overview of the facts. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are defined as plants and animals that have been altered at the genetic level for a specific purpose. That purpose could be to enhance resistance to…
