Some environmental effects include introducing GM genes into the population, persistence of the gene, non-target organisms, stability of the gene, loss of biodiversity, and increased use of chemicals in agriculture (20 Questions on genetically modified goods, 2009). One environmental hazard to consider includes unintended harm to other organisms. Although Bt corn helps to kill pests that harm the crop, it is not possible to design a Bt toxin that would only kill crop-damaging pests and remain…

Food: A Reader for Writers: “The Gastronomical Me,” An Excerpt by M.F.K. Fisher To demonstrate the indication of the time period referred to by the author: “Women in those days, made much more of a ritual of their household duties than they do now. Sometimes it was indistinguishable from a dogged martyrdom.” (2) There is a specific definition for martyrdom (3) martyrdom: an occasion when someone suffers or is killed because of their religious or political beliefs The use of martyrdom in the…

Genetically Modified Organisms (a.k.a GMOs) is a term used to represent organisms and crops created using biotechnology and genetic engineering. It involves generating a class of organisms by integrating genetic information from different species using recombinant DNA biotechnology. The first successful achievement in genetic engineering experiments using plants dates to the 1980 's1, 2, 3, where biotechnology introduced major approval of bacteria used to produce insulin for manufacturing in…

Sources of Omega 3 : color fish (salmon, trout, sardines, tuna, mackerel), flax oil, soybeans and canola, flaxseed, nuts in general, eggs, fortified foods such as biscuits, cereals, milk. CLA sources : meat, cheese, milk, yogurt, eggs, mushrooms. 3. Chromium picolinate: Chromium is derived (mineral) and picolinic acid. It is sold as a supplement…

Genetically Modified Society The average American consumes about “193 pounds of genetically engineered food in a 12-month period. The typical American adult weighs 179 pounds.” (Sharp). Which means on average we are consuming our weight and some in GMO’s. What are GMO’s? A GMO is an organism whose genome has been altered by the techniques of genetic engineering so that its DNA contains one or more genes not normally found there. The problem society is facing is not knowing that they are…

In his essay All Animals Are Equal Peter Singer argues that non-human animals are equal to humans. He believes that the next major liberation movement will be the one to end speciesism, which he defines as the discrimination against animals by humans. I will be arguing that the case Singer puts forward is persuasive, and provides a simple and easy solution to end speciesism by using logic and appealing to human emotion. Singer highlights a few main examples of speciesism in our society, the…

body. The reality is that the lack of other types of good fats from grain lipids and sterols leads to poor function of the cell as a condition of chronic fatigue and lack of energy in the human body. These lipids and sterols are found in grains, soybeans and rice. Since mankind uses these ingredients in processed form as white flour and white rice and discard the bran containing lipids and sterols, and all that is cause of many chronic diseases. If people ate these foods in integral form, then…

The total proteins are composed of 12.8 grams, while cholesterol at 13.8 grams for every 100 grams of fertilized duck egg (Table 2) (Jalaludeen & Churchill, 2006). Proteins aid in the cultivation of various bacteria whereas it is one of the basic growth components in bacterial cultivation. Moreover, the presence of cholesterol in vivo aids in nurturing bacteria and allow it entry into host cells. (Tille, 2013). Table 2 Nutritive Value of Duck egg compared to Chicken egg.…

more likely to be allergic to others. Eggs are one of the most common foods that cause an allergic reaction in children. In most cases children out grow there egg allergy before adolescence but in some cases the allergy can continue into adulthood. Soybeans are found in many unexpected foods. This is due to their use in many processed foods. This makes soy one of the most difficult products for allergy sufferers to avoid. An allergic reaction to soy occurs when the body’s immune system creates…

Anticoagulants are medications that stop the blood from thickening as rapidly or as efficiently as normal. Anticoagulants medicines people referred to as blood thinners. However, the blood is made any thinner or the medicine make it more dilute. The blood thinners just prevents the blood from clotting. Anticoagulants are given to patient to treat and avoid blood from clotting in the blood vessels. Blood that clumps or clots, can block blood vessels and hinder the blood flow in the artery and…
