Pro Gmo Persuasive Essay

Today, people are wanting to become more aware of what they’re eating. Studies show that nine out of ten American consumers want to know if their food is a GMO. This supports a law in North Carolina that bans all unlabeled GMOs. This law was not favored in the Congress as this new law “compromises the economy”. Even then, companies are determined to hide the facts.

GMO technology has made it easier for the farmers to spray their crop and watch it grow without having to go through any trouble. They say they use GMOs to produce more to feed the world, yet studies have shown that we have enough food to feed the world twice! So why go through all the trouble? Filmmaker Jeremy went to GMO companies asking one question: are there products safe? His main target was Monsanto, yet they avoided any questions and asked him to leave the premises, leaving Jeremy with high suspicions. The “Who can label Frankenfood?” article states that “For now, the FDA has determined that genetically modified ingredients don't require special labeling, but it has reserved the right to reverse course on that,” (Los Angeles Times). The items we eat daily could have been made by genetic engineering, but there is no

Can genetically modified foods really help our society? Genetically modified food are foods that have had their genetic makeup changed or enhanced in some way, shape, or form. We should have a full understanding of what is going into our bodies at all times. This includes all the chemical pesticides used to protect our food and any hormone or other product used to enhance the quality and/or quantity of the food we eat. Genetically modified foods should not be sold without proper identification because they leave Americans thinking what's in our food, are the labels true, and can these additives have risk harmful factors.

What really are GMOs? most people don't know what they are or don't seem to care. But they should. GMOs are in everyday life, especially the United States. GMOs are simple yet complex. GMOs and GMCs stand for genetically modified organisms or crops that have been genetically altered by engineering techniques. The U.S. is one of the biggest factors towards producing GMOs and GMCs.

Many people around the world ask the question What are Genetically Modified Foods? Well Genetically Modified Foods also known as GMO’s which is an genetically modified organism, it can be a plant, animal, or microorganism, whose makeup has been modified using DNA methods.  This creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and virus genes that do not occur in natural crossbreeding genes. A recipe or ingredient is classified as high-risk if it uses another source from/of or is produced through a process involving organisms that are known to be modified. High - risk GMO foods are: soy; cotton; sugar beets; corn; animal products; canola and much more. Animal products such as milk, eggs, honey, and meat are also considered as high- risk, because of the GMO’s in their feed they consume.

Have you ever wondered what you're really eating? Of course you have, who wouldn't? The label says that it's good and nothing wrong so you buy it. What could go wrong? Well, food scientists are putting these little things called GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) into your food. GMOs are plants or animals that are put into a process where there DNA is altered with DNA from other living organisms.

Our world wants the best of everything especially if it means to play around and mix genes. Science today has mixed many genes from an organism to another one. This process is known as GMO’s. In other words, genetically modified organisms are either plants and animals that are experimented on to level them up. Yet, scientists are too blinded by the fact that GMOs are causing problems to our society. Genetically modified organisms are not beneficial to modern society because they are causing health issues, allergies, and are messing with an organism’s life.

This sounds like a great idea for many people, especially agriculturalist, but there are many people who do not agree with GMO’s. In the 90’s it wasn’t required by the FDA for companies to label whether they used GMO’s or not, today it is still not required but is highly encouraged. If you grew up in the 90’s or before you probably remember an organization called Earth Liberation Front. In 1999 they found out that Michigan State University had research labs devoted to agricultural research, along with helping countries with high poverty rates. When ELF found out about these labs they burned them down in protest against GMO’s. Around that time it was introduced to the public that many of the food they consumed had GMO corn in them, the public

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

Genetically modified food creates risks for the environment. It can cause cross-contamination between the GMO and organic produce damaging the organic crops. According to a 2009 report by the Organic center, the extensive use of pesticides intensely increased--about 318 million pounds--in the first thirteen years after GMO crops were introduced. (Text 2, lines 31-32) This occurred because people who grow GMOs immeasurably, spray herbicides on them causing pesticide-resistant weeds to prosper. However, according to the Food and Drug Organization, the foods are safe to consume. Agreeing, the World Health Organization states that there are no severe health effects that occurred in the international market. (Text 3, lines

An organism whose genetic material has been altered is called a GMO or a genetically modified organism. It may have been tampered with to give the organism more desirable traits such as disease immunity or grater production. GMOs are commonly utilized in agriculture and medicine practices. Within the agriculture business, companies can modify their produce to have an effortless production season, whether that be by fabricating a new plant that repels insects or being able to grow a much larger version. Animals can also be modified to increase production of food such as milk or eggs. Surprisingly GMOs are also exploited in the medical industry, most commonly as another option for supplying insulin to those with diabetes. To this day GMOs continue

The term “GMO” stands for genetically modified organism. Meaning that it has been produced by human action using genetic manipulation. Now this does not mean that organisms that have been farmed and breed by humans for thousands of years are genetically modified. Because humans have not been directly altering the genetic material of the organism since recently due to technological advancements. Mainly we use the process of genetically altering an organism is called transgenesis where genetic material from unrelated organisms are combined. Although it is thought to be terrible for humans and the organisms GMOs can actually be beneficial in aiding against droughts and other problems while being able to single out good traits.

Lately, regardless of where anyone looks whether at their local market or in their local grocery store, there is someone selling Genetically Modified Organisms/Genetically Engineered (GMO/GE) foods. GMO’s/GE’s can come in a range of different varieties from fresh vegetables and fruits to various medications or even flowers. Numerous individuals do not think twice about what they buy, but as the trend of GMO’s/GE’s continue, these individuals might have to think twice about the effects. However, depending on how they utilize GMO’s/GE’s, they can and have already contributed to both beneficial and damaging effects. Scientists though, continue to look towards the future of food where one day they believe the benefits will out way the dangers

With a world containing nearly 10 million people foods are our body’s fuel, a staple of life. Fast quick and convenient has become the new normal. Just like your car, if you put the wrong fuel in it will break down. When feeding our families un-healthy food’s, we cause out body to reject the food we are giving it, in the form of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiac issues. Meat, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables are the staples of the American diet, but with easy convenient and cheap fast food many people rely on the fast food industry to feed their families because they are inexpensive. The question we must ask ourselves, is the cost of eating cheap foods worth the health outcomes. Most of the food we eat is Genetically modified, and created by man. What is in our genetically modified food is a question many American’s are asking. As consumers, we have the right to know, what is in the foods we put in our body’s every day and farmers have the right to farm their land sustainably.

“An estimated sixty to seventy percent of food products (in 2002) in retail stores already contain genetically modified foods,” stated the University of Florida’s Keith R. Schneider and Renee Goodrich Schneider who found these genetically modified foods in most popular food products. Genetically modified foods, or GMO foods, are plants and animals that have been genetically altered in order to display specific characteristics that will produce a desired product. These foods are widely available due to the low cost of production and efficiency, but after the creation of GMO foods, people began to question whether or not the usage of GMO foods was safe. People find that the GMO foods tend to be land efficient and can end worldwide hunger; however, many others feel that GMO foods can cause adverse health and environmental effects. The usage of genetically modified foods in any capacity, should be prohibited due to the multitude of negative affects that they have on their consumers as well as the organisms that are being genetically altered.
