GMO’s or genetically modified organisms have started to change the way people produce food all around the world today. In 1977 this new technology was invented, but in 2010 GMO’s have undergone enormous advancements in technology. The idea of producing food which has had its genetics altered is unsettling to people and because of this has made the use of these new products highly controversial to not only Americans, but to the entire world. A form of a GMO that has already been produced are…

There are a lot of different types of food but one thing I will never feed my family is poison . GMO are such a strong part of the food that we eat when food was deadly . The government should really ban GMO food . Not all GM foods are not done over to increase their nutritional content in the process of their genetic make up . GMO foods can harm our environment . A gene that has been inserted can cause a plant to make larger levels of phytate lose the mineral nutritional value plant .…

Imagine if all the food in the world never went bad, food waste was at an all-time low, and there were no longer as many starving children in the world because of a simple process that improves a natural food’s shelf life. That would be a world of wonder, however, that the world would only be the surface. If you go deeper into a world with genetically engineered foods and other products you’ll notice that everyone is getting sick and the mortality rates are through the roof for both humans and…

areas. These traits demonstrate benefits genetically modified foods can bring to society. An example of how genetically modified foods can solve world-wide problems is vitamin A-enhanced “Golden Rice,” which has helped undernourished people receive vitamin A in many developing countries (Mandel). Golden rice shows that GMOs do not harm, but instead, help the human population by solving problems not possible by natural…

What do you think about genetically modified or know as (GM) stuff. Genetically modification is where one gene is transferred from one thing to another and has a different outcome. Genetically modification things are better looking and they are also safe, but they also cause environmental issues. Most of the GM foods are created in the United States. In my personal opinion, I think that genetically modified stuff is all right. The first reason is to add good traits to fruits and animals…

Do The Pros of GMO’s outweigh the Cons? Since the introduction on the genetically modified organism in the mid to late 1990’s many people have debated on their economic and environmental impact, as well as their safety for human consumption. Many companies like Monsanto and Dow Agro-science that produce these bioengineered foods have conducted research on the topics of environmental and economic benefits as well as the safety of GMO foods. The results of the studies conclude that genetically…

GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS A genetically modified crop is a crop that’s DNA has been modified by genetic engineering. The way this works is that one organisms DNA is taken and is bonded with another organisms DNA creating a “hybrid” crop. Genetically modified crops have developed tremendously over the years and has changed and impacted daily life for farmers and crop consumers. Genetically modified crops have many positive effects such as increased productivity, lowering pesticide chemicals on…

Are GMOs safe? When it comes to the topic of the safety behind GMOs, many of us will readily agree that we are uneducated on the risks and benefits they present in our bodies and to the environment. Where this argument usually ends, however, is on the question of the advantages genetically engineering seeds and crops can have during the growing process of the crops and for the environment as well. Whereas some are convinced that this let alone is enough to be pro GMOs, others maintain that GM…

to be enhanced. It is also said that foods that are genetically modified have a higher concentration of nutrients because they can be added during the modification process. (iuns.org, 2012) An example of this is the golden rice project of 2001. Beta Carotene was added to rice…
