history of daily consumption of endogenous DNA” (6). Sarich mentions that the livers mice fed dRNA feed completely changed their cell organization (Sarich), however, the link provided is to Nutritional assessment and fate of dna of soybean meal from roundup ready or conventional soybeans using rats by Zhu et al. The abstract from the article states that “no adverse effects of glyphosate-tolerant soybean meal on rats were seen even at levels as high as 90% of the diet” (Zhu et al.) While there…

company who is paying lobbyists and federal candidates off named, Monsanto. This company has a patent on seeds that have been genetically modified with herbicides and pesticides. One of the corn seed this company sells is Roundup ready. Meaning it has been modified with the Roundup weed killer. As the corn grows, it will act as a weed killer and kill the surrounding weeds. No matter what the EPA says, this seed still can’t be health. In Haiti, most of the people don’t even have electricity or…

Monsanto grew over 75% of genetically modified plants from herbicide-tolerant-resistance seeds and Roundup Ready is the most popular seed rating 52% in growth. However, the added active ingredient called glyphosate is five times more toxic than the original brand of Roundup. Farmers spray even more toxic chemicals on the plants without killing them and the toxic residues are still unable to be washed off. Monsanto cites, “genetically…

On the research of GMOs: What are GMOs? Imagine almost every food product in your kitchen potentially containing an ingredient that could drastically affect your health. For example, someone could be feeding their children different types of foods that could be harmful to their health. Most of the time, people own several products without knowing what components make up the food they are eating. Quite often, a customer does not know how their food was grown or which farmers use organic crop…

March Munchies FORT WORTH, MARCH 1, 2016 - Children play a huge part in their parents’ lives (obviously), so it’s a given that helping them to be happy and healthy will do the same for us in return. March is the month to combat childhood obesity and along with staying active, eating healthy is a vital step.

In 1994 the company Calgene marketed its Flavr Savr delayed-ripening tomatoes. This would become known as the first commercial sale of a genetically modified food. Since then plants have been engineered for resistance to pathogens, herbicides and for better nutrient profiles. So if the world has been consuming genetically modified organisms for eleven years, how bad can they really be? Genetically modified foods have the potential to change the global food supply for the better in years to come…

Genetically Modified Organisms Did you know that 70-80% of the food produced by farmers in the United States is Genetically Modified? In fact, most of the food in the produce section at your grocery store are genetically modified. And what is interesting is that you can not tell the difference because they look exactly like organic produce. This is why It is important to read labels more often, make sure what anything purchase says “Non-gmo”, and be more attentive on other foods just incase.…

Why would farmers go back in time from all of the developments in technology, and advancements that have come along in agriculture industry? That would be like telling one of today’s farmers to get rid of his brand new John Deere tractor that is equipped with auto steer and heated seats, and go back to a horse drawn plow. In a way this is what the push for non GMO products are doing to farmers. One of the largest debates in today’s agriculture, is it effective to plant non GMO crops. Will…

GMO are pest resistant but they aren’t like that naturally. They use Roundup to create pest and herbicide resistance for the GE crops. The crops are resistant so the weeds receive this resistance and use it. This created “superweeds” and farmers are trying to get rid of them by using toxic herbicides which is defeats the purpose…
