There are approximately seven billion people in the world and either unintentionally or intentionally everyone has been a part of a social movement in food. Everyday consumers are affecting how our food system is being executed because they are choosing what they want to purchase and consume, and this in turn affects what businesses produce and advertise. Consumers may make decisions to purchase and consume what is more appealing, tasteful, or inexpensive. In some cases, however consumers are…

Although genetically modified crops have proven to be successful, many people show opposition towards them. The biggest concerns regarding these genetically modified crops include the affect they have on human health and their effect on the environment (Newton 88). In 2012, the Grocery Manufactures Association estimated more than seventy-five percent of processed foods contain genetically modified organism. Because of the unknown effects of the increasing use of GMOs in food and the customers’…

In the last century the United States has gone from world wars to the battle against the fast food industry and Franken foods. 70% of all food products in the US today have genetically modified organisms or GMO which allows plants to be selectively bred or scientifically altered to produce the best crops available in the short growing season (Center for Science in the Public Interest). These crops, however, have unknown consequences such as increased allergies, reduction of plant diversity, and…

There have been ongoing debates about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for quite a while now. And you might have noticed people walking the streets protesting against research and production of GMOs and wonder what exactly is a GMO. I believe mandatory GMO labeling actually hurt the economy and the market and limit consumers’ choices. First, I am going to explain it to you what a GMO is, how it works, and the pros and cons regarding the consumption of GM food. Then I will explain how the…

Genetically Modified Food Every human being requires food in order to stay alive. The food provides the body with the forces it needs to keep the heart beating, the limbs moving, and the lungs breathing. However, during the last century, scientists have been working in laboratories to create a new kind of food. This type of food is called genetically modified food. Genetically modified food comes from plants that have been altered in laboratories. This technology can be accomplished by moving…

whether or not the green revolution should be revived. In Bourne’s article, “The End of Plenty” he discusses the green revolution refers to the research and development of technology that allowed for more than double of the average yields of corn, rice, and wheat to be produced between the 1950’s and 1990’s. Although at this time many of the hungry were fed, the green revolution still created problems environmentally. The green revolution is dangerous and should not repeated, it uses pesticides…

Rhetorical Analysis of GMO Articles In the report by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), “Genetically Engineered Crops: Report and Prospects,” Gould et al. provide logical appeals such as: scientific research, statistics, and other facts supporting the use of GMOs. In the article, Gould et al. disprove many common GMO misconceptions. Although no pathos is involved, this article provides reliable evidence and effectively argues the beneficial qualities of GMOs. The National Academy of…

In “The Threats from Genetically Modified Foods”, Robin Mather effectively brings awareness to the American public of the harmful side effects of genetically modified (GM) foods. She shares that genetically modified foods are foods with an altered genetic make-up. This alteration has lead them to be banned in several countries. However, in the United States, GM foods are not strictly regulated and, therefore, not required to be labeled. Also, the pesticides used in genetically modified foods…

The 2014 article, “The effects of pesticides in food” was written by Lisa Weber and seeks to address the negative connotations associated with pesticide residues in the food we eat. It is clear from the article that although pesticides are usually thought of as a solution, it can often result in the fatality of many. The author begins by providing a good overview of the matter at hand, followed by explicitly stating that while the use of pesticides is regulated by the government, a significant…
