Golden mean

The Food of Tomorrow Genetic Engineering has the ability to fix and prevent many injustices in our world, from nutrient deficiencies to genetic diseases. However, this useful method is being used harmfully. Not because what it allows for is inherently bad, but rather because it is being abused, which is often a byproduct of humanity. I am without question that Genetic Engineering could be something amazing, but only if humanity could remain moral. Since it 's not, at the very least people…

Strolling down the grocery aisle, bold blue and green labels declaring “non-gmo” on food products catches customer’s eyes. What do these labels mean? According to the World Health Organization, “Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism” (“Food”).In other words, genetically modified foods are foods whose DNA contains…

scientists, hoping to eliminate the need for post-harvest processing, have genetically modified rice to contain significantly higher amounts of vitamin A.” this rice is called the golden rice is not yet legal in most countries, but according to experts it will be very soon (“Genetically Modified Foods”). Crops like golden rice could be very helpful to the third world countries. People in African and other third world countries who live in poverty can be fed by foods that are excessive in…

Different countries have gotten involved in trying to fix the problem, but nothing that has been done so far has worked. Most of what has been done to this point in order to make GMOs more widely accepted in Africa is the introduction of GM crops and food products. There has been colossal amounts of food and money attempted to be donated in order to address the hunger problems in Africa. Large amounts of this food has been genetically modified in some way, which could have extinguished…

The Golden Fleece is another mythological story that was written prior to the play Medea and explains how Jason, the hero, and Medea, the sorceress, met. The goddess of love, Aphrodite, made Medea fall in-love with Jason so Medea could help Jason with her magic and witchcraft to get through his quest to find the golden fleece. In the myth, The Golden Fleece, written prior to the play Medea, it is explained that Medea in reality…

The Misconceptions of Genetically Modified Foods Many foods are marketed as “organic,” or “GMO-free,” claiming they are healthier and safer than genetically modified foods. Does this really mean a better product, or are these claims ignorant misconceptions written off as fact? Genetically modified foods, sometimes called genetically modified organisms (GMOs), are foods that have been genetically altered to have traits that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.…

after five minutes and 31 seconds she made a decision. I knew that this would be a good decision because both 5 and 31 are prime numbers. She accepted the invitation. If she hated him, then she would have rebuffed his invitation. As she didn’t, that means she doesn’t hate him so much anymore. They went out to dinner on March 19th which was an interesting choice because on March 19th in 1945, over 800 people were killed as Japanese kamikaze planes attacked the U.S.A carrier Franklin off Japan.…

(GMO Foods: What You Need To Know). With this we must look into any testing done on GMOs that could even give viable evidence of harm caused by GMOs. There are several reasons why this argument falls flat, the first one being that no evidence does not mean that they are safe. Regulations for approval of a GM product by the Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, are a little frightening when looked at. The FDA does not require any testing to be done on the product before it is approved,…

an encounter similar to that. Have you ever seen the movie Mean Girls? If not, let me fill you in. In the movie, a girl named Cady, who lived in Africa, moves back to America to experience high school. She meets Regina George who runs The Plastics, the epitome of what was described earlier. Cady soon learns the golden rule in high school – trust no one. As a senior in high school, I have had my fair share of experiences with real life mean girls. I have felt the wrath of a real life Regina…

Increase in Nutritional Value – The decrease in price not only makes GMO foods more widely available to people with lower incomes, GMOs can also have the added benefit of having more nutritional value. For example, there are some GMOs like Golden rice that have Vitamin A which can solve the issue of Vitamin A deficiency in Asian countries [4]. Disadvantages of GMOs Despite the advantages of GMOs, it also has a great amount of disadvantages for which the controversy of GMOs stems from. Yet…
