Persuasive Speech About Gmo

Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience to take action against genetically modified food and realize the risks of GMO’s.

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

Genetically modified food’s, or GMOs, goal is to feed the world's malnourished and undernourished population. Exploring the positive side to GMOs paints a wondrous picture for our planet’s future, although careful steps must be taken to ensure that destruction of our ecosystems do not occur. When GMOs were first introduced into the consumer market they claimed that they would help eliminate the world’s food crisis by providing plants that produced more and were resistant to elemental impacts like droughts and bacterial contaminants, however, production isn’t the only cause for the world’s food crisis. Which is a cause for concern because the population on the earth is growing and our land and ways of agriculture will not be enough to feed

III. Negative effects of GMO’S. Genetically Modified Organisms have negative effects on humans, the economy, and the environment.

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

The world eats five million kilograms of food everyday and the UN predicts that we will need 70% more by 2050, just imagine how much food we need and look at the tremendous efforts we are putting in right now just to feed us. This is where GMF will come in and assist with this growing problem. We can always wait and see what the end results will be when our population will die or we can choose to revolutionise our agriculture and have a more likely chance if surviving through the future. Selective breeding is what we use in farming now, this is basically hoping for lucky hits like bigger size and more crops, with GMOs we can eliminate this factor and can always increase the size and quantity of crops. With this technology we can start to develop foods that will last longer and in war will be a very useful advantage to those who don't by feeding the soldiers with fresh and big crops that will last a long period of

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.

A GMO is an organism whose genetic makeup is changed by humans. A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a plant, animal or microorganism whose genetic code has been altered, subtracted, or added (either from the same species or a different species) in order to give it characteristics that it does not have normally.

Food, the heart of every culture, every civilization, every family, the question asked by every starved child: When do we eat next? Starvation and malnutrition choke famine covered countries, bringing desperate children, and desperate parents to their knees. The solution is genetically modified organisms (GMOs). GMOs are not merely practical, but when safely applied they will vastly enhance the production and quality of foods and medicines and quite possibly become the savior of mankind.

GMO’s: What Are They? Topic: Genetically Modified Organisms Organization: Topically

On behalf of the interest groups and the Florida coalition committee leaders here with me, I would like to thank you for inviting us today in your office. Can you please allow me introducing each member of this delegation. Here is to my right, Ms. Sanders, representing the Florida community activist groups; next to her, Ms. Levy, nurse practitioner and advocate member of the American Nurses Association (ANA); to my left, we have Mr. Lucas, representing Florida coalition counties committees, and myself, registered nurse, executive council of the steering committee. Once again, this is an honor to be here and I would like to thank you in advance for your support in this political endeavor aimed to request mandatory labeling of genetically modified food packages.

Seventy- five percent of grocery stores contain foods that have been genetically modified and you didn't even notice it.(nesselbush 1) What this means is there is plenty of food in these stores that contain genetically modified food, organisms, and animals. For example you might see a huge dark strawberry, that has a juicy look to it, the strawberry didn't grow by itself it was genetically modified, but that'was not everytime you see one. GMOs are not just for crops, they help the world round. They also help scientist with their studies. What are GMOs and what is their history, also how are they used today, is there pros and cons with using GMOs, and most importantly what's in GMOs.

What do you think of when you hear the words “genetically modified”? Do you envision organism that are harmful and have no regulations or do you envision organisms that help improve our health and increase food produced? I bet it is the first one because the media has manipulated us into believing these horrible myths about GMOs without any authentic scientific evidence to back up their statements. The only motivation for the media is money and will do anything for it, even lying.
