Roundup

cereals and I do not know where the wheat came from. That concerns me. According to Mike Barrett, his article “GMOs, Monsanto’s RoundUp Found in Kellogg’s Froot Loops,” he states, “Independent DNA lab testing has verified that 100% of the corn in Kellogg’s Froot Loops is genetically modified corn, containing DNA sequences known to be present in insecticide producing Bt and Roundup Ready corn” (Barrett). Ric Bessin, Extension Entomologist researched and found that “While the FDA (U.S. Food and…

kill the weeds while sparing the cotton plant, however, the chemical in the herbicides that kill weeds was too strong for the cotton plant. Second, Monsanto developed cotton seeds called Roundup Ready, the cotton seeds that can withstand the chemical in the herbicides, In the book, the author said that the Roundup Ready cotton seeds were strong enough to withstand the herbicides and the cotton farmers no longer need to chop or bury the weeds. Third, Monsanto developed another cotton seeds called…

The conflict between the laws of the state and the laws of indivdual consciene is a hard decision to face. However, both characters in, Antigone by Sophocles and Sarah’s Key by Tatiana DeRosnay come face to face with this difficult desicion. The charcters experience similar situations of facing against injustices. Similar to Antigone, Sarah is forbidden to see her brother, but is wiling to do anything to see him and goes against unfair laws put in place. These similar concpets connects the two…

They escaped a roundup, but a guard soon shot at them. His mother, father, and older sister were killed so Jonathan grabbed his brother and ran away to the countryside hiding in barns. His brother became sick, so he received milk from the Polish to feed him, and eventually…

and Bertrand got divorced because Bertrand cheated on Julia. So they were no longer in love in the beginning of the book. Julia’s boss, Joshua, told her to write something about the Vel’ d’Hiv Roundup, as the 60th anniversary coming soon. Julia then does research and tries to find out more about the roundup, she discovers that the apartment Bertrand and her was going to move in was from the World War 2 and that Bertrand’s grandparents inhabited in that place before, she became obsessed with…

In the last century the United States has gone from world wars to the battle against the fast food industry and Franken foods. 70% of all food products in the US today have genetically modified organisms or GMO which allows plants to be selectively bred or scientifically altered to produce the best crops available in the short growing season (Center for Science in the Public Interest). These crops, however, have unknown consequences such as increased allergies, reduction of plant diversity, and…

A genetically modified organism or GMO is any organism whose had its genetic material altered using genetic engineering techniques. We humans have been using selective breeding or artificial selection for a very long time. This process takes the desired traits of an organism and breeds them whilst weeding out the organisms lacking the desired trait are not bred. This was the precursor to what we now call genetic modification. In 1973, Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen created the first genetically…

Did you know that Genetically Modified foods are actually fake and are bad for you? Genetically Modified foods are bad for you because there are added foods in other foods, which are mostly corn, and they can cause problems to the liver and the kidney in the body. GMOs are also foods that are mostly corn that have been around since the 1980’s and are also foods mixed with different types of DNA. I think that GMOs were originally made to see if it is a very healthy piece of food mixed with DNA,…

The discussion came to a head in the year 2012 and since when the a paper on the long-term toxicity of Roundup herbicide (Used in excess on GMOs designed to resist its effects) was published (Claire 4221), it pontificated its findings that prolonged and regular consumption of GMOs treated with Roundup will result in cancerous malignant tumours. This study gained traction in Anti-GMO circles as it was the one of the very few studies to unequivocally link…

“super weeds” immune to the herbicide which causes farmers to use more toxic herbicides ever planting season. This is creating environmental harm, GM foods are carrying my toxic herbicides on them than ever before. Roundup is the most widely used herbicide today for GMO farmers. Roundup is linked with sterility, hormone disruption, birth defects, and cancer. They can also cross pollinate and spread the DNA change to other plants. Organic and non-GMO farmers fight to keep their crops pure and GMO…
