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…

The Green children of Woolpit were two children who had an unusually green tinge of their skin, who had conspicuously appeared in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, England around the 12th century.

There are several theories which contribute to…

Pesticides can do many things that make human’s lives easier. They can kill unwanted bugs, which are called insecticides, they can kill unwanted plants, which are called herbicides, and they can kill fungi, which are called fungicides. There are many more pesticides out there as well, each with a different job. These pesticides are meant to help make human lives better, but do these pesticides really make our lives better? In Silent Spring, written by Rachel Carson, pesticides are examined and…

Are GMOs Safe “They Say” When it comes to the topic of the safety of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) most of us will readily agree that it is a highly debatable, and controversial topic. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is the question of whether GMOs are safe or not based on numerous scientific studies. Whereas some are convinced that GMOs are health threatening for us humans and pose an environmental danger, others maintain the idea that the usage of GMOs is harmless and can…

Harari’s Sapiens Sapiens written by Yuval Noah Harari depicts the history of humans in his own way. By bringing the history and science of human development together he creates valid points that make the mind of the reader rethink their existence. His ideas began with the Cognitive and Agricultural development and how it changed the course of history. In many ways there was much to find in these two eras and from the finding Harari explains his reasoning for believing why they were…

4. Risk Assessment Issues The risk assessment in any industry is very important, can use to direct potential intervention strategies at different food processing steps. in this case, the risk of Listeria monocytogenes can be potential sources of contamination from milk source especially if this cheese made from raw milk and by traditional methods and manufacturing process, and this happened in this case, one of main source of hazards in Lanark Blue cheese by used of Ewes raw milk. According to…

Science Assignment Due date: 26th February 2018 By: Erick Mengel Valdez Baca Claim: Genetic modification of crops has improved the food industry Rationale: Genetically modifying crops was created to improve their germplasm for the best possible crops. One of the most heavily modified crop is the soybean, since 1996 they have been changed to create larger yield for famers and higher resistance to insects, drought, etc. GMO Soybeans has improved the food industry because of the higher yield…

2.3 Analyse To curb the problem at hand, Idris Jala formed a group of 10 to 15 individuals from different background to analyse the problem and to come up with possible solutions (Dichter et al., 2008). These individuals are the smartest and the crème of the crop where they are assigned into laboratories (labs) where they have to churn the data fast, since the company did not have time to spare. Once solutions are found, Idris Jala and the company would implement them in a bid to ensure that…
