When you see dextrose, soy lecithin, or high fructose corn syrup on a package of non-organic food, the food probably contains GMOs. GMOs are genetically modified organisms whose genes have been altered by some techniques of genetic engineering so, then the DNA contains one or more genes that are not normally found there from the beginning. When they are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. The foreign genes may come from a bacteria, virus, insect, animals, or humans. The controversy itself is whether or not farmer should be using genetically modified organisms in their crops and if it is beneficial or not. Genetically modified organisms are a big controversy in agriculture and is based on health,…

modified food the producers are not obligated to say they use modified products which is an increasing danger for those with severe allergies. It is illogical and irresponsible to continue with these standards of misrepresentation. Uncertainty and lack of knowledge is one of the most dangerous possibilities when dealing with the health of people worldwide. Even though genetic modification is not particularly a current subject a minute amount of information is known about its impacts.…

Monsanto says, “Twenty years from now, the earth’s population will need 55 percent more food than it can produce now.” How will farmers be able to meet this demand if they continue to produce the same amount of food as today? Genetically Modified Organisms and biotechnology can help meet this demand. Biotechnology is the study of cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies, products that help improve our lives, and the health of our planet. An example of an application of…

Having a place in paradise is one of the best luxuries that Hawaii has to offer. Picture a nice home with enough room for your family and visiting friends or relatives, a good view of the ocean and nothing but nature surrounding your home. Then imagine waking up to the smell of pesticides in the morning and the nature that once surrounded your home clear cut and replaced with fields of genetically modified corn. This is the current situation that many Hawaii residence are facing as the islands…

GMO Labeling- The Argument against Labeling The labeling of Genetically Modified Organism is nearly as controversial as GMO’s themselves. Well-intentioned consumer groups have lobbied to have GMO products labeled to protect consumers. These groups argue that GMO’s may have the potential to be dangerous and should be labeled. Those that advise against labeling, industry, academics, and regulatory bodies sight the complexities and cost of labels that do not improve safety. Mankind has been…

Genetically modified foods have been a widely debated topic as of late. Since the first genetically modified crops were approved in the United States around the same time that technology became a significant resource, individuals have been using the internet as a source of information regarding GMOs. Through his research, Rangel (2015) determined that the number of Google searches for “GMOs” has dramatically increased since late 2012. When I entered “GMOs” into the search engine, hardly any of…

Genetically Modified Organisms Using genetically modified organisms to enhance the production of food, is a new technique for solving the food shortage caused by overpopulation in the world. Food labeling is needed to educate consumers about the ingredients in food that may contain some form of chemicals and pesticides. Consumers play a major role in deciding whether products containing genetically modified organisms remain economically stable. Produce, crops and animals are sources of food…

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…

ISSUE: Kraft Heinz cheese which labelled “100% Grated Parmesan Cheese” was found to have 3.8% cellulose. Although Bloomberg News story mentioned that between 2 to 4 percent is considered to be an “acceptable level”, consumers still consider this case as a fraud and even filed a class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz in federal district court on 2016, 27 January. On this day, a class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz in the federal Northern District court was filed by an Illinois woman named…

chickens, etc. By subtracting or adding genes in the nucleus, remarkable changes can be made to food stock. For specific examples of GMOs, we found genetic engineering can be useful for the prevention of unwanted illness to happen to domestic animals. Some of the animals are modified for human medical objectives. An example is the drug ATRyn®, which is now produced in Goat’s milk is an example of a Biotheraputic, which can be produced in huge quantities for relatively less cost in an animal…
