Needless to say, the loopholes of the system makes things hard to keep people honest. Many Americans were very unhappy with the welfare system. The outsiders, not receiving welfare, believe and know some individuals who are abusing the system by not applying for jobs, having more children to receive more benefits, and staying unmarried so they can qualify for greater benefits (U.S.).

GMOs can negatively impact multiple aspects of everyday life. This process can be harmful to the environment because of their excessive amount of herbicides required for these organisms and their contamination…

Now what if I tell you that this was common with all our food supplies. Scary isn’t it? What I’m talking about it GMO or genetically modified…
