Do you have a lab? Labs are the most common breed of dogs in America, I have had four labs since I was a baby. The first two my family got were a chocolate lab and a yellow lab named Lucy and Zeus. Lucy had about four litter of puppies and we raised them and then sold them, but we kept a black lab and named her Casy. Labadors are the best breed of dogs because they are easy to train, and good with other pets. Labs are easy to train because they will do anything to get a treat, for example the…

As technology advances, scientists and business moguls are finding new ways to genetically modify food products to meet the growing demand for food. However, the average consumer is oblivious to what is entering their body when they consume these genetically modified foods that are not required by law to be labeled. Nina Fedoroff’s, “Engineering Food for All”, is an editorial stating that there is no harm in utilizing genetically modified organisms to feed everybody. She also states that there…

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…

GMO, which stands for Genetically Modified Organism have been introduced as a highly debatable topic for quite a while now. A GMO is an organism whose genetic material has been altered by using genetic engineering techniques. Before this technology was available, farmers had to pass down knowledge of their best breeds for optimal/desirable traits for the crops they would produce. Now GMOs have given us the option to select traits that would discourage and repel pests to certain crops. Some may…

Genetically Modified Organisms In recent years there has been a growing debate about the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in our food supply. A GMO is created by injecting genetic material from plants, animals, or bacteria into a crop in hopes of creating a new and beneficial trait (Blackwood). The use of GMOs is typically touted as a way to enhance or create a specific trait, such as pest and disease resistance or to increase the nutritional content of a crop. Those on both sides of…

Over the span of 35 years, our society has developed research towards Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).These organisms have provided many benefits to the society through nutritional value and over the years of being developed, there have been negative theories that have arisen in the eyes of skeptics. Although there are many legitimate concerns toward GMOs, labeling and regulating Genetically Modified Organisms can alert customers of the dangers and decrease negativity by informing them of…

As America moves towards efficiency and mass production, the agricultural industry follows the same pattern. One of the more recent developments for mass production and decreased costs of food production. Numerous questions and concerns surrounding the safety and impact on human’s health preceded this new introduction. Genetically modified organisms, GMOs for short, have been at the center of congressional hearing and federal agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The question…

GMOs are genetically modified organism. They work by taking the genes of another organism that possess a specific trait (gene) like resistance to pesticides or possessing “natural” pest proof superpowers. It is hailed as marvel and a miracle of science, but it is quite the contrary. While GMOs are helpful in many ways, however, they have drawbacks that are concealed, such drawbacks which are contained from the consumer. GMOs have the high potential to cause unwanted environmental side-effects…

Planning Your Call/Visit Assignment The controversy surrounding mandatory labeling of modified genetically organisms (GMO) has been going around for about a decade. Farmers, food producers, and the food industry at large are leading a legal battle to fight any decision that would require the adoption of mandatory labeling. Conversely, consumers have raised serious concerns about food containing genetically modified organisms. The United States of America are still the lead producer of…
