GMO Persuasive Essay

For a while now, the food that we consume has been generated through a far more complicated process than we had ever thought. Genetically Modified Organisms is the process by which food is being altered and grown in ways that do not occur naturally. Farming practices have been altered from organic to majorly GMO, in order to accommodate this highly profitable industry as well as the high demand by the citizens. GMOs allow food to grow faster, act as a bug repellant, and also cause the product to grow bigger in size in a short time span. We have for the most part stopped relying on local farmers and organic product to know depending on what is most convenient to us. With grocery stores being so readily available with anything you could possibly think of, or ask for, it would be hard to pass this convenience up.

Although the increased movement of people, food, and manufactured goods can have negative impacts on public health by providing a sort of highway for the spread of infectious disease, in contrast, it can also have a great positive impact. This movement can also include the increased ease of movement of people like doctors and engineers that can help to improve an otherwise cut-off region, the availability of fresh foods to areas that wouldn't normally have access during certain times of the year, and the increased east of movement of manufactures goods such as medicines. For this reason, the reduction of flow would most certainly have a much more negative affect on public health at this point in time. Instead, other options to control the negative affects must be explored. One such option would be the increased implementation of a better inspection and sterilization process for imported and even exported goods. In conjunction, a better global education system could be developed

Take away the juice boxes, burn the marshmallows, destroy all traces of GMOs. Right? All throughout the media and congress, there is a common notion that “All GMOs are bad!”. While parents are scared that they are feeding their children “Frankenfruit” and other “Frankenfoods, there is no research that has shown that GMOs are harming anyone. Because of the terribly expensive processes GMO’s must go through to become accepted by the American public, there are actually few GMOs that are making it into people food. If the scientists are lucky enough to successfully gene splice and create a GMO, there is a large possibility that they will be sued, publicly scrutinized, and shut down by the government and other activist

The human population is quickly rising. With the rise in the human population, the demand for food is also raising at an unprecedented rate. Our simple mom and pop farms are unable to naturally provide the worlds population the food needed. This may seem like a big issue, but humans came up with an ingenious solution; genetically modified organisms, commonly known as GMO’s. Genetically modified food as been able to offset the worlds steadily rising demand for food, and the food problem has been solved, or has it? I will use information from: Wendell Berry’s, Jon Entine and JoAnna Wendel’s, 2000+ reasons Why GMO’s Are Safe to Eat, and Robin Mather’s, The Threats from Genetically Modified Foods, along with references from Food Inc., to explain

I am writing to address your article Canada won’t be following U.S. in labelling GMO food products, as I feel you did not address why Canada should be following the U.S. by legally requiring genetically modified foods (GMFs) to be labelled on food products.

I believe steps should be taken in order to lower the negative impact of the movement of people, food, and manufactured goods. One of the greatest impacts of such movements is the introduction and further spread of diseases. Some of those diseases include malaria, cholera, and AIDS. All of which have a powerful impact on the human body. I believe steps of precaution should be taken because individual's health is an important aspect of globalization. One possible step is the thorough sanitation of foods and goods. As more and more goods accumulate in size and count, it introduces more food-borne diseases that can be transmitted through individuals. Furthermore, the greater the accumulation of goods, the more it is likely of bugs to be moved along. Wanting to prevent the spread of diseases into third world countries is a key

Imagine living a life, having the latest of technology jumping onto the next trend, then one day a rumor comes out that cell phone companies are monitoring the actions of users they claim it is for security reasons to prevent viruses and identity theft. GMOs seem to have been given less of the spotlight due to other issues coming up. Some still debate whether GMOs are a viable or even a safe option. However, it is important to see both sides such as the domestication of wild produce. Even though there are still unknowns about GMOs selective breeding has made produce edible, GMOs have a longer shelf life, and they are more resistant to pests.

Have you ever wondered where your food came from? The ‘fresh’ produce from the supermarket you’re feeding your family? Unless the shopping list contains mostly organic items, most of the food in your cart probably contains genfoods. NonGMOProject is a group dedicated to the elimination of genetically modified sources, they define genfoods as GMOs, or genetically modified food organisms, ‘are artificial organisms that were modified in a lab’ for human consumption. In a new food science called genetic engineering, they take genes and crossbreed them to make genes that do not occur in nature (NonGMOProject). There are many scientists who question the safety of these new foods, however even the FDA bypasses these objections in the favor of the steady cash flow that comes with cheap ingenuity.

Have you ever wondered where your food has been before it going into your stomach? Well, most of the food you have eaten has been genetically enhanced to increase your health and your appetite. Genetically modified foods, are foods that have been artificially altered to modify their characteristics. Genetically Modified foods should be on our shelves. The use of GMO or Genetically modified organisms can feed more of the world at a lesser cost and could revolutionise farming, which is the obvious choice over the the regular and inefficient agriculture methods we having been using. Another benefit GMOs produce is that it can significantly enhanced ones health by giving higher levels of vitamins, antioxidant levels, and so on, this stage of engineering could drastically change the ways human eat and help humanity survive for the future. Finally, of the usage of GMOs is that it could possibly be our only hope to

Genetically modified foods have been linked to sick, sterile, and dead livestock when tested on lan animals it damaged every organ in the animal. GMO stands for genetically modified organism. This organism is almost the same to its natural counterpart, but its DNA has been mixed with a bacteria of some sort to create a new crop with natural pesticide. While it may be the answer to feed the world, GMOs are destroying humanity because that GMOs produce is harming all types of other living organisms, may create a new virus, bacteria or bug that is immune to pesticide, and they can cause cancer and tumors.

In the past few years, society has been made more aware of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Because of this, GMOs are being replaced in diets with more natural and organic options. GMOs have been researched and found to cause adverse effects on human health because of the gene splicing, or genetic alterations that are done to create them through genetic engineering. Before this issue became an issue, many people were eating processed and even healthy foods without understanding what chemicals and toxins they were actually putting into their bodies. GMOs are infused into food without awareness because one never really understands what all those unpronounceable words, label GMOs, really are. Due to recent research, it has been found that genetically modified organisms are harmful and can lead to increased risks of disease and cancer.

GMOs have unexpected health effects. According to Foodmatters.tv, “In many investigations involving GMO-fed animals, there have been cases of underdeveloped organs, reproductive problems, accelerated aging, and even death.” In fact, about 98% of the genetically modified soybeans are fed to livestock and used in food ingredients such as lecithin. I once watched a video clip about a boy who died from e coli 057 because he ate a hamburger. The cow was fed genetically modified corn. I believe that nobody should have their health harmed after eating a GMO product.

The way we eat has changed more in the last 50 years than in the previous 10000 but the image that used to sell the food is still the agrarian imagery. One of the biggest issues that our generation is facing is the misinformation we get on what we are eating in daily basis. Often it occurs to us that we don’t know where this food comes from and how harmful it can be to our health. The industry doesn’t want us to know what we are eating, because if we knew, we might not want to eat it. The greed for money is bringing many challenges in our everyday lives. Let’s consider for one moment the GMOs. GMOs (genetically modified organisms-food) are special organisms in which the genetic material has been altered for improvement productivity and product quality. Everything grows bigger and faster. This, for sure, will bring more productivity. Can we say the same for the

One of the most talked about topics in today's world is, genetically modified foods (GM foods). GM foods are foods that have been genetically modified in a lab to give the food desirable traits. In the lab, scientist transfer one plants genes to another, or transfer non-plant organism's genes in the plant. Most GM foods are plants and crops. GM foods are a great advantage that the world needs to use for the growing population. It can help the farmers provide food for the growing population in many ways. Two ways GM foods can help are nutrition and pest resistance.

World population projections currently expect another 2 billion people in the world by 2050, and simultaneously, there isn’t expected to be any measurable change in the quantity of arable land to match this level of growth. Already, the United Nations is grappling with the realities of a global food shortage crisis, meaning that, even without the next 2 billion people added to the global population, world leaders are struggling to feed the mouths we presently have. Experts are turning everywhere for solutions, including the already realized prospect of genetically modified (GM) crops that are uniquely resistant to pesticides, harsh winters and other threats as a means to create more food sources and consolidate them.
