On January 19, 2011, Taco Bell was served a lawsuit, from a law firm, accusing the restaurant chain of using a mixture for taco’s that did not contain enough beef to meet USDA requirements to call the meat ground beef (Roper, Samikkannu & O’Rourke, 2012). The law firm alleged that the restaurant chain was using more filler than beef for tacos and therefore be labeled as taco meat filling. The lawsuit further claimed that seasoning for the beef were misrepresented, when in fact they were not…

help to regulate GMOs for safety. A federal judge disputed that the FDA make their policies stricter toward the labeling of GMO products. (Pollack 2004). The Department of Agriculture, the most common genetically modified plants are corn, canola, soybean and cotton. In addition other foods that contain GMO is papayas, chrysanthemums, poplars, and spruce, tobacco, rice, cranberries, raspberries and walnuts, but these are not grown in the United States for human consumption. At this time there…

This country is known throughout the world for its enormous soybean crops. I plan to continue managing a farming operation raising corn and soybeans when I am older, and it would be beneficial for me to see how this country can produce such large harvests. I also took three years of Spanish in high school, and it would be an exciting experience to finally…

Future of GMO: The future of GMOs are moving at a rapid pace. California is in one of the worst droughts it has ever experienced. Monsanto’s has finally created the only plant to grow without the need for water, corn. Because of this, scientist are able to unlock the potential properties of plants that could revolutionize the way farmer’s farm. There are also scientist that have genetically modified animals. Scientist will be able to create more crops that are disease and insect resistant also.…

similar to a drug user’s brain as “foggy” and “dusty”. From the drugs ruining the brain making everything “foggy” in the head. Johnson was describing one of his characters Dundun in the story by using “The soybean crop was dead again… All the false visions had been erased” (2). Just as the soybean crop was dead so are the brains of drugs users. Which causes some memory to be erased from the brain, and their mindset is gone in showing that they are not or cannot be using their brains to think for…

With grains and soybeans given to raise our U.S livestock, 1.3 billion people could be fed. In the article “Interesting Stats on Eating meat,” Aprohaska explains that we need around 16 pounds of grains and soybeans to produce 1 pound of feedlot beef. Imagine how many pounds of beef Americans eat. Now imagine all the grains and soybeans it takes to produce all the beef we eat. We could easily use those grains to feed children…

replacement that is reducing the United States dependence on imported diesel. This alternative fuel is creating jobs and improving the environment also. (www.biofuels,org, 2015) Biodiesel is made from a diverse mix of feed stocks, including recycled oil, soybean oil and animal fats. It is the first and only EPA designated advanced biofuel in on a commercial scale production across the country. Biodiesel had to pass strict specifications to make sure the fuel quality was right and can be used…

information. Also, a great part of the film focuses on Monsanto and genetically modified soybeans. Although there is some academic literature reviewing the health effects of consuming GMO soybean products, the film makes no mention of this data. Their criticisms of Monsanto for patenting its genetically modified seeds, while not, without merit, are not very compelling without a discussion of why eating GMO soybeans are bad for health in the first…

increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Foods that are deep fried or have a high content of sugar are the ones that come under the category of Trans fats. There are certain oils that you need to avoid since they are highly processed. These are soybean oil and canola oil. In addition to the above, foods that contain artificial colors, preservatives, stabilizers, fat replacers, emulsifiers and toxic binders should also be avoided. The most harmful food additives that you need to omit from…

knowledge through labelling. The abbreviation GMO stands for genetically modified organism. A genetically modified organism is a plant that has been altered by the insertion of genes from other animals or bacteria. Typical foods including corn, soybean, cottonseed and sugar beets can be genetically modified. Biotech companies make the genetically modified organisms because they are pesticide resistant. Pesticide resistant means that the organism is immune to pesticides like Round Up. Animals…
