Good nutrition is one of the key to good health. Corporations should be responsible to have certain policies towards unhealthy food or the GMO. GMO also known as Genetically Modified Organisms, whose genetic material is manipulated in a lab through genetic engineering. Gmo foods are not safe and particularly not accepted by most developed countries. Some policies to avoid these bad foods and unhealthy foods is Food labeling, Isolated aisle of organic foods at grocery stores, and regular food…

Task 2 – Examples of genetic engineering Genetically modified crops Genetically modified crops are being grown in 23 different countries. They cause crops to grow in a certain way and it is also a very precise way of doing it. For example crops have certain characteristics that are inserted into the plant in order to genetically modify crops. Genetically modified crops have many positive impacts, but also have negative impacts to. GM crops means that there is an increase in yield and also means…

The Tomato That Kills: GMOs Negatively Affect People's Lives Genetically modified organisms are present in 60 to 70 percent of foods on US supermarket shelves (Cadwell). In 1982 the FDA approves the first GMO. Then in 1994 GMOs are put on the grocery store shelves. The first food that was approved with GMOs in them were the Flavr Savr tomatoes (Shireen). Since GMOs were made, many controversies about the health risks associated with the foods have occurred. The death of Juan Pedro Ramos proves…

Do you want to eat healthier? Fresher? Cleaner? More local? Better for the air? Locavore movements have become the new craze of the past decade. Consequently, locavores have helped improve the environment within communities and the economy of the small farm industry, but the nutritional value hasn’t improved like people want it to. Becoming a part of the locavore movement can help the environment tremendously in many different ways. “Eating local is better for air quality and…

The world has many problems and one of the biggest problems is our growing population. 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…

Genetically Modified Organisms: The Future of the Food Industry. An Annotated Bibliography Pamela Bailey, “GMOs Are Nothing to Fear”, US news, US news, 4 November 2013, January 19 2016. There hasn't been enough and substantial evidence to back up the claim that GMO are bad for you. This article states how they are good for you and rebuttals against claims against genetically modified foods.The author is the president and CEO of the Grocery Manufacturers Association.This is relevant because it…

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…
