Greenhaven Press highlighted many of these health concerns past the point of only allergies; GreenHaven Press states, "several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food." These include: Infertility, Immune problems, Accelerated aging, Faulty insulin regulation, and Changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system.” In looking at…

time. Corn, soy, and squash; these are just three of the many foods that are modified genetically. Corn and Soy are a highly consumed GMO crop .The evidence states.”By far the biggest use of GMO technology has been in large-scale agricultural crops: At least 90 percent of the soy, cotton, canola, corn and sugar beets sold in the United States have been genetically engineered.”(Lallanilla).This goes to show how much of our crops are actually genetically modified and displays the large dance-hall…

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 biotech crops amongst the industrial countries with 69 million hectares of biotech crops and an increase of 5% in the last year (Broeders, De Keersmaecker & Roosens, 2012). For the record, the mandatory…

Medea: A Feminist Cry The majority of the plays written in Ancient Greece diminish women. Women were put into the same category as slaves and children. For the most part women were treated as objects instead of actual people. Women were given to men as time during times of war. Women were meant to stay at home and do chores or other womanly things like sew and raise children. They were never expected to speak up when a man made a decision that they did not agree with. They were supposed to take…

With a population of 7 billion, Earth doesn’t have enough space and farmers to feed everyone, let alone the estimated population of 9 billion come 2050. Scientists are attempting to solve this hunger issue by creating genetically modified food, which is capable of growing in harsh conditions, has more nutritional benefits, and its production can lead to a lower food price. These genetically modified organisms (GMO) don’t come without problems though. Growing of GMOs can cause environmental…

Many countries have restrictions on the production of GMOs. The United States is the leading GMO producer, followed by Argentina, Brazil, Canada, India and China (“Countries” 1).The only part of Africa that has full legalization of GMOs is South Africa. India also only allows the production of Bt cotton, but no other GMO.The…

Mandatory labeling of Genetically Modified food (GM) also known as Genetically engineered (GE) or Genetically Modified organisms (GMO’s) has become controversial and a debatable topic in our society. Today, more than 170 million acres plants varieties of GM crops and the US still remain as the largest producers harvesting about 43% of total GM crops (Hallman et. al, 2013). Lessick et al., 2002 stated that about 60% of processed foods sold in US supermarkets contain a GM ingredient. Proponents…

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 significant amounts of the fear in Africa, but most of this food has been rejected. The United States donated genetically modified corn, but despite all of the starving people, this corn sat and rotted in warehouses(Masci). Another tactic to promote these GMOs…

However, many people believe that consumers have the right to know if GMO’s are in their foods. Consumers want the right to to choose what they eat. Many people have safety concerns and are unsure if GMO’s have long termed effects. They feel that there is not enough research done to determine or prove that GMO’s are not harmful. Downtoearth.org also insists that “ Few choices in our daily lives are as important as the food choices we make for ourselves and our families. We should be the ones in…

Inevitably, the cost of labeling will be attributed to maintaining a system to track ingredients and enforcing compliance to follow the law. However, the response of the consumers will be varied depending on the viewpoint of GMOs within that state or country (Galeotti 402). In the European Union and other countries where GM foods were first introduced have developed mandatory labeling policies, and have yet to experience significant pecuniary problems. Even though opposers of mandatory labeling…
