As a result, use of toxic herbicides like Roundup has increased 15 times since GMOs were introduced.” (9) An increase of 15 times is a stark difference form the above of how less herbicides have to be used due to the advantage GMO crops give.

As you go farther in the article however we find that she gets off track going into the explanation that Monsanto (the leading producer of these seeds) uses a herbicide that negatively effects the crops. The “herbicide called “Roundup,” in Canada and in the US, has led to the emergence of “superweeds” that are resistant to glyphosate” (Chopra 65) and how these seeds and crops are exposed “with many different agricultural chemicals, exposure to 2,4-D has been linked to a number…

She was unaware of the French keeping the Jews for so long. When Sarah lost track of time she knew she had…

In the following paragraphs, it will show about five advantages about GM food. First of all, Genetically Modified plants and crops help crops to have more resistances (Connect US the Global Issue Blog, 2015), which is combated the natural disease, less to depend on the pesticides. That mean GM food can lead to decreased use of pesticides, GM crops do not need pesticides to have stronger protection and resistance combat the different kinds of pests and ,insects that may destroy it, they can be…
