Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) used towards food have been highly controversial since the practice started in the 1970’s. Since becoming officially announced in 1996, the controversy has only intensified, feeling a strong resistance from environmentalists, scientists and religious leaders. While scientists, practicing the use of modifying organism, insist the practice is safe, many feel that this is a dangerous practice leading to many health issues today. Before people judge the use of…

GMO’s, or genetically modified organisms, are animals that have their genes manipulated in a laboratory. These genes are changed by chemicals to bring some good effects on the people but may also bring some bad ones. There are lots of controversies and debates in society about how dangerous GMOs are even after some research was conducted and it showed that there use was safe. This paper is intended to help give information about the good and bad effects of GMO’s in society and help us make a…

Millions of people all over the planet suffer from poverty and starvation. One very interesting but experimental solution to the problem of world hunger is genetically engineered food. The process involves the crossbreeding of crops in a laboratory with species that are not plant like. Say for example, that a scientist crossed a fish and a potato. The diversity of this gene mixture is supposed to give this hybrid crop special characteristics like resistance to disease, the ability to deal with…

G.M.Os: The truth on Genetically Modified Organisms What is a Genetically Modified (GM) crop, or a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) in general? Well lets talk about it. Most will want to take the information and twist it for you and make it sound like a GM crop is some sort of completely made up science experiment, but I’m here to tell you that it’s not. It might sound kinda scary calling something a Genetically Modified Organism, but what does it really mean? What is a GMO being compared…

Avoiding Genetically Modified Organisms From the corn fields of Nebraska, to the food in your grocery store, to the dinner served at your favorite restaurant, Genetically Modified Organisms or GMO’s are in as much as 80% of processed foods in the US are eating (Paturel & Yamakawa, 2015). What exactly is a GMO and should the average consumer be worried about consuming a GMO? It seems as though one food chain is concerned enough about GMO’s, that they are fazing all GMO produced products from…

A gmo is a genetically modified organism. Even though gmos cause faster maturation rates for plants and animals, they can cause health issues, like cancer, so they should not be used. Gmos cause health issues, the effects of gmo include, food allergy, nutritional value and antibiotic resistance, cited by the American academy of environmental medicine ( aaem ), want doctors to give non gmo diets to all their patients. Studies show that gmos give animals fast maturation rate, organ damage, and…

Guiding people from the unforgiving shadow of nature, technology manifests itself from the first piercing spear to the first flying sparks of electricity. Today, the growing innovation of genetically modified organisms will redefine what was once impossible. Genetically modified organisms or GMOs are the result of taking the beneficial characteristics of one organism or a chemical and merging it with that of another organism, to enhance its overall performance for a specific purpose, i.e.…

Right To Know MD is an organization that is concerned with winning mandatory labeling of GMO products. Together; state leaders, organic companies, and non-profits organizations aims to advocate towards the policy at hand. Motivated by the idea of regaining basic rights to know where food comes from and what is in it. Increasingly, a great number of Americans are concerned with the harms GMOs have on human health and the environment as a result of recent studies. Right To Know believes that…

1. Where you able to find foods that were genetically modified at the store? a. Yes, thanks to a helpful desk clerk, I was actually able to find many foods that are probably genetically modified including soda, corn tortillas, chips, oils, and even some cereals. 2. How do you know, as a consumer, if you are eating engineered foods? Is it clearly marked which items contain GMOs? a. As a consumer the only way to know for sure if the food you are eating is GMO or not is one to keep up with the…

Genetically modified foods, or GMOs, are foods whose DNA has been altered through genetic engineering. The goal of genetic engineering is to add DNA into an organism manually which will lead to new traits that weren’t in the original organism. This engineering can be done in either animals, bacteria, plants, or any type of organism and is performed to bring forth new traits along with having a better control over the traits. Genetic engineering is different from traditional breeding. Trait…
