As said before, GMOs are genetically modified organisms, and can be dangerous, so experts say. They say that the GMO process causes diseases such as cancer or diabetes, and some also say that GM foods can cause allergic reactions. They are saying this because, as they have discovered, some companies have mixed protein from nuts and inserted into beans, which can be harmful

Did you know that 80% of the food packages sold in the United States have GMOs in them? Its true! Imagine going to the store simply for a can of beans, or even just a chocolate bar. There may be a good chance that the food product selected contains GMOs.

In this week’s section section of To Kill A Mockingbird our mystery man who killed Mr. Robert E. Lee Ewell is not valued. I think this because Atticus try the suspects in court for murder. Instead of just appreciating that his kids are okay. For example in the text it says, “It’ll come before county court...it was clear cut self defense, but I’ll have to go to the office and hunt up.(365)” This proves the mystery man who killed Mr. Bob Ewell is not valued. This is because Atticus tried to put the suspects on trial for self defense. The mystery man was just trying to help Scout and Jem. So if Mr. Bob Ewell got killed in the process from self defense then maybe he shouldn’t have been beating up on them. Also Jem and Scout were trying to

GMO foods were designed for various reasons; for instance, to enhance growth, resist parasites, hold longer shelf life, and hold a higher nutritional value. Controversy of GMOs is still prevalent, as they have been able to consume for over 20 years. Many are concerned because of the

Gary Hirshberg (2013), Chairman of Stonyfield Farm, stated that GMOs are genetically modified organism that have been altered with other species that wouldn 't be found in nature. The U.S. Commerce Department and the U.S. Patent Office, both see this to be a new, unique organism, can be equivalent to a non-GMO products. FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) declared that GMOs can be modified to have the same amount of calories, carbohydrates, fiber, and protein, therefore they do not need a label to warning costumers (para. 3). GMOs were first discovered in 1996, and are very common now, most of our soy and corn produces are roughly 90% GMOs in all of US markets. USA is one of the few nations that don 't need to label on GMOs, 64 other countries need an approval label and have not risen food prices (para. 6). Hirshberg announced, as of right now its too early to see the impact that GMOs have on our generation, so no one can yet claim if this is a safe or harmful product to use (para. 7). Hirshberg firmly stated,

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

Although no studies can prove that GMOs are harmful to humans, many can prove the dangers of using pesticides with crops. Justin Tolley, a crop advisor for Crop Production Services, isn’t afraid of consuming GMOs in foods because they don’t contain the harsh chemicals that can harm humans. Pesticides and herbicides contain chemicals that are poisonous to the human body, as well as the environment and its wildlife. By switching from foods treated with pesticides to GMOs, the chemical intake would decrease dramatically. Along with the lack of chemicals, genetically modified foods can have increased amounts of nutrients and minerals in comparison to standard foods. Scientists have created a grain to aid the issue of A vitamin deficiencies in poorer countries (Chien). Modified foods can also replace supplement pills; the dosage would also be controlled because it would be based on how much food one ate instead of the premeasured dosage of supplements. Risks for allergies could also be eliminated using GMOs. “Scientists have identified a new gene in peanuts that codes for a protein with no apparent allergic effects” (Agricultural Biotechnology Council). Peanut and nut allergies are a very common issue and even pose the risk of death for some people. Getting rid of gene codes that trigger allergies for nuts and other foods would reduce health and possible death risks in humans; overall the health of all humans could

I recently ate at a well-known restaurant called 1920 by myself. What the delicious food it was! I ordered shrimp salad as the appetizer, T-bone steak with mashed potatoes and a side of asparagus as the main course, sundae and mineral water as the dessert. My meal was definitely not low-carb diet, but the server told me that it was fresh and healthy, because it was mostly local and organic. Even though I was stuffed and I had to take the rest home to eat later, the food and the server of the restaurant gave me a good impression, so I'd like to go again and recommend it to my

The average American consumes about 23 teaspoons of added sugars and sweeteners per day. More than 68% of U.S. adults are overweight or obese and 17% of children from ages 2-19 are obese due to processed foods. According to Dr. Mercola, the GMO ingredients in processed foods are well-established primary contributors to chronic disease. They're also more heavily contaminated with an antibioticty-resistance promoting carcinogen that the US government does not test for. Hence, GMO foods are inherently less safe than conventional foods. The top food ingredients we get from GMO crops today are high fructose corn syrup (corn), vegetable oil (corn, soy, canola, and cottonseed), and sugar (sugar beets). All of these ingredients have been scientifically identified as promoters of disease, so to say they're safe is not adequate when looking at long term chronic

There is a general scientific agreement that food from genetically modified crops is not inherently riskier to human health than conventional food, but should be tested on a case-by-case basis.[138][139][140][141] No reports of ill effects have been proven in the human population from ingesting GM food.[138][142][143][144] Although labeling of GMO products in the marketplace is required in many countries, it is not required in the United States and no distinction between marketed GMO and non-GMO foods is recognized by the US FDA. In a May 2014 article

The fact that you can have an allergic reactions or even worse scares many people. Especially knowing that your food has been modified and you don't really know what's behind the food you put in your mouth. Research shows that, "Scientists often modify seeds using antibiotic-resistant genes in the genetic engineering process. Which mean it's a hard to kill, thus infecting many people and causing death." (http://www.healthline.com/health/gmos-pros-and-cons?m=0#cons3). With this information we can say that food that contains GMOs can potentially harm or even worse it can kill us. Just because it may taste really good and it looks appetizing it does not mean that it's good for you, we all have to be careful of what we put in our mouths and consume Although GMOs are bad in many people's point of views, others can say

GMO foods have a large impact on the society. They are starting to make up the entire food industry. Food is a necessity to all human beings and is what humans rely on to help function daily. The vast majority of corn, soy, canola, and sugar beet grown in the US are genetically modified. These ingredients are often used in processed foods, what makes the most of the food industry. They raise serious life to death questions while creating a large clash in society. Should these foods be eaten? Are they harmful? Those who support GMO foods make the argument that these types of foods have been eaten for 15 years now. No harm has yet come up. However, others argue that by just saying there’s no major harm doesn’t guarantee that they are perfectly

When you walk through the different aisles of your grocery stores, do you shop for flavors or the health establishment of your food produces? How would you know the apple you picked up are not one of the genetically modified food? Many consumers, like you, are unaware that many of their food products are genetically modified organisms (GMOs). GMOs are common in grocery stores and supermarkets nationwide.

For countless generations, genetic diseases have been ruining people’s lives with these abnormal conditions being able to severely mutilate, disable or kill them. Genetic illnesses are most commonly due to mutations in the DNA sequence that occurs during replication or due to environmental factors such as radiation. [10] Though an affected patient might not have to live with their illness for their whole life as the human genome has the ability to be changed [10], therefore, allowing an opportunity for treatment. Research and advancements in technology have allowed numerous different methods of treatment for affected patients to be discovered which have dramatically changed our

Concerned parents and health-nuts alike cry out in alarm as they discover that their favorite cereal contains GMOs. However, these concerned consumers are rarely, if ever, well informed about what precisely a GMO is and what that entails, as well as where the scientific controversy regarding them lies. GMOs are not inherently harmful to humans and instead warrant an individual case by case evaluation. To understand why this is, it is important to know what GMOs are and why we have them, why the process of creating a GMO doesn’t make them harmful, where the confusion surrounding GMOs comes from, and ultimately that GMOs can’t all be thrown together and labeled as good or bad.
