GM foods are foods that derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism. (“Food, Genetically modified” 1) You may not familiar with it because it is a new technology and not yet wildly promoted. People’s views on GM foods are controversial. Some of them think GM foods are harmful, but some does not. Therefore, I plan to conduct a research on genetically modified (GM)…
In recent years, the outcry of people against genetically modified food, or GM food, has become increasingly prominent in both commercial and governmental practices. GM foods have a negative connotation; people think that eating something that has been modified is going to poison their body. Not only that, but most of the American public believes that in doing this, humans are playing god, and have gone too far. However, none of this is true. So far, none of the GM food currently on the market…

I've noticed a number of people recently questioning whether the Paleo Diet is safe. By Paleo diet we are, of course, referring to the recently popularised way of eating that is based on the (presumed) diet of Paleolithic Man, the hunter gatherer. So what's the answer? Is the Paleo Diet safe or not? Low carbohydrates There seem to be a few possible objections to the Paleo way of eating, and the first of these is based largely on a misconception. The Paleo Diet does share some similarities with…
An essay about Environmental, economic and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels. By Jason Hill et al. The authors try to determine whether ethanol, produced from corn grain, and biodiesel, produced from soybeans provide benefits over the petroleum-based fuels they displace. To be a viable alternative to fossil fuels, a biofuel (ethanol or biodiesel) should provide a net energy gain, have superior environmental benefits, be economically competitive with fossil fuels and…
The Plight of the Bumble Bee With the demand for food constantly increasing, modern farmers have taken on new practices to keep up with demands. Some of these practices include genetic modification of plant species and animals, destroying habitats to make room for farm land, and spraying toxic pesticides to keep insects from consuming crops. Some would argue that these practices are necessary for keeping up with todays food demands, while others may argue that their negative side effects are…
014). For that, Myrter and Castle Cheese employees should not be held accountable for adding cellulose, when it is perfectly allowed by the FDA. As for the Listeria issue, in this case, all the blame should not fall into the hands Michelle Myrter. For example, the FDA sent inspectors to Castle Cheese, the inspectors found Listeria on their property (Beach, C. 2016). The FDA states that Castle Cheese continued to manufacture fake and real cheese products from March 22, 2012, through November 9,…
Is going green and living a safe and cautious the new thing to do or should we sit back and no care about anything like before. This is the main problem that authors Pamela Paul who wrote, “Green, If Not Clean” and Michael Pollan who wrote “Why Bother” have argued and have given their opinions on. Paul argues on how come there are no ingredients on the cleaning products that people purchase from stores and goes on a mission to find out how come. Pollan on the other hand wants to encourage…
Growing potatoes on mars? Yes, It could be a real possibility for the future for not just to see if they can survive the harsh conditions but, maybe even adapt to them. In the passage “Spuds or duds?
