Say Yes To Gmo Foods

GMOs are awful for your well being, are very harmful to the environment and the animals that live in the wild, and they are harmful to the future of society. While some may say that GMOs are helping the earth by fixing world hunger this is not true, GMOs are doing more harm than good in our society. Imagine what will happen if we continue to eat these foods without knowing it, they will continue to harm our body and the earth in the future. The real question is, will there be a

GMO’s or Genetically Modified Food is one of the most controversial topics that have been studied and debated for over 40 years. Scientists on both sides of the spectrum claim that these modified foods are safe for consumption, but also some argue that these foods are toxic and very harmful to human life. GMO’s are genetically modified organisms that are created and added in a lab experiment where DNA are extracted from one gene and added to another plant or animal. This allows the genes to mix with the DNA to create a desired product. For example, bigger apples, larger oranges, taller animals, and plants that can survive the changing climate. GMOs are different from organic food and products because chemicals and DNA modification is not needed for these natural stuff.

In todays society, people are more concerned about what they put into their body. They eat healthy and maintain a stable diet, but unknown to a number of these people is their food may have been tampered with in the form of Genetically Modified Organisms or, for short, GMO's. Genetically Modified Organisms are plants or animals whose DNA has been altered to favor a certain characteristic or trait which is already in the DNA. This includes enhancing the DNA in plants to make them bigger, invincible to pests, or invincible towards weeds. Although, the reason why GMO's are a controversial topic is because of lack of knowledge. Genetically Modified Organisms are risky and potentially to dangerous to be handling because of the unknown side effects

GMO’s stand for “genetically modified organism” (Google). They are foods that we encounter almost every day. “Although nine out of ten scientists from the American Association for the Advancement of Science say GMOs are "generally safe" to eat” (fact about GMO’s). That still doesn’t mean that they are good for us. Genetically modified foods were created with the intention to improve overall quality of life. However, they are associated with various environmental, health, and economic risks that render them to be more harmful than helpful.

GMOs have been around since the 1980's. GMOs, or genetically modified organisms combine different DNAs from different sources into one. The question whether to have GMOs has been a controversial topic, but I believe that the benefits outweigh the costs. Of the stronger points for GMOs is that they include a lot of nutrition. By combining several DNAs the nutrition levels of the product are drastically increased. On the other hand, the most common argument against GMOs is that they are inorganic and artificial. Many people are against eating products that have been genetically altered. They prefer to eat the natural product and obtain less nutrients than eat something that has been genetically modified. I also believe that GMOs are more beneficial than the normal product because of how frequently they have been used. It is fairly rare to see in a grocery store a section designated for organic food only, thus this is to show that GMOs are more widely common. GMOs are said to have alleged effects on many people, but they solution regarding this population is to simply not obtain the product; it isn't a reason to stop the production of

A GMO is when a gene from the DNA of one organism is put into the DNA of another Organism.GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organisms. Cows, Chickens, Pigs, and even Plants can have their DNA changed. Scientists developed this gene changing method which is a main cause of animal suffering. Factory Farms nearly 100% of the animals are given GMO’s to make them grow bigger. Banned in 27 countries (not the U.S.), recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone is injected into cows to produce more milk. This alteration of the GMO is made by mixing cow DNA and E. Coli (seriously). These cause infections on the cow making the body produce more milk as the cow is suffering. Cows are suffering just to give us more milk and yet we have not banned this injection. Also, GMO usage can lead to the inability to walk or even stand up in their cages. The animals on factory farms are fed growth hormones which give them a disability to stand up. When the animals grow bigger then they are supposed to, their bones cannot hold the weight which forces them to lay down and the bones sometimes snap. GMO’s given to our food is bad for our health, yet people still eat it. Experts like Sheldon Krimsky, PhD, an adjunct professor of public health and community medicine at Tufts Medical School in Boston says “nearly two dozen studies show bad effects, like harm to the kidneys, liver, heart, and other organs. (http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/truth-about-gmos?page=2). Over 80% of our food (all foods) are injected with GMO’s. In the US, food companies aren't allowed to label if the ingredients have GMOs in them. Therefore, we cannot tell which foods contain these health risks. But, there is a project called the Non-GMO Project which labeled foods that they found did not contain GMO. They have not covered all foods but they are working their way there. GMO’s are not only bad for our

Genetically modified foods (or Organisms) help our world in many ways. Most people think otherwise. However a YouTube group called American Scientific stated in their video that “genetically modifying something called teosinte allowed for today's use of corn”(What is a Genetically Modified Food? - Instant Egghead #45). Without the help of early people in this country we would not have corn. So because they decided to manipulate the DNA of teosinte we have one of the most popular crops in the world. GMO’s are and will be the next big thing on earth. To many websites, and people they have not been proven to be harmful. On the other hand websites and scientist have reason to believe they are bad. Genetically

GMOS have been cluttering many parts of the United States for many years but the issues surrounding them have recently made surface. A GMO is a Genetically Modified Organism. In other words, genetically modified means the materials that make up an organism have been altered and artificially engineered somewhere in a laboratory. Scientists create what can be called the ‘ultimate plant’ which are able to sustain life outside normal conditions that make organic plants susceptible to death. In most all cases GMOS are created to sustain the application of a herbicide or other chemicals. It is a more efficient way to get the most out of what nature gives. Some companies who produce GMOS

Genetically Modified products are dangerous to human and animal health and should not be consumed. There have been many chemicals and foods that have been declared “safe for use” and been bad, but none have been more dangerous than GMO products. My reasons for being against GMO are simple and as follows are:

What are GMOs? GMO stands for genetically modified organism, an organism that has had its genes or genetic makeup changed or alter in some way in a research lab. Two ways that scientist accomplish this is through either gene cloning or protein engineering (Phillips, Teresa p.1). Tampering with the genetics of any species, particularly one that we consume into our bodies has unknown effects that have not been completely research enough. We do not know how genetically modifying the foods we eat will affect our own inner bodies and genes. Big research and food companies, such as Monsanto, have put their own bottom-line, or greed, above our health and we are unwittingly being

According to a survey done in 2015, “Nearly 9 out of 10 scientists from the American Association for the Advancement of Science say GMOs are "generally safe" to eat. Though if you're like more than half of U.S. adults from the general public in that same survey, you think you probably shouldn't eat them” (Siegel and Verity). There are many reasons people believe they should not  be consuming GMO’s from them, having too many chemicals used on them when they are grown, to them not being “organic” and genetically altered, or not being as healthy as non-genetically modified organisms. But those beliefs are not true. GMO’s are still the same plant but  with one or two added or deleted genes to make them fit the profile scientists are looking for. Thus, making them still have all of the nutrience they started with if not

To many people GMO's are seen as a "Crime against nature" or a dangerous and unnatural food source that harm more than help us. However many including myself see the potential of GMO's and agree that the risks are more than over shined by the potential positives this breakthrough in science has to

Have you ever wondered what our foods are actually made of? Are they naturally grown like people say they are, or are they just artificial foods that were injected with animal DNA? People need to be cautious and aware of what their eating and what's in their foods, because as of right now not all foods have genetically modified foods (GMO) labels. Therefore without GMO labels citizens will stay oblivious to the damage being done to their bodies. It is crucial that people are aware of the reasons why we should all stay away from GMO related foods. In the future GMOs will become a major threat to the United States because people are starting to worry of what contains of gmo foods. As a result what does this mean for the organic and whole foods

I’m sure you heard of GMO’s, but do you really understand what they are. GMO’s, also known as genetically modified organisms, denotes organism’s with DNA has been altered and does not occur through mating or in nature (WHO). The media portrays GMO’s in this negative light

People have been genetically modifying food for centuries. Humanity has used selective breeding to utilize desired traits in farm animals and crops for so long that they are now different species from their wild variants. However, scientists have been using a new process for giving organisms desired traits called genetic engineering, which is the process of directly transferring genes from one organism to the next. This process can be used between any two living things, no matter how different they are. Some think that this is the future that will make society flourish, while others think that it is a menace that will damage civilization. I believe that GMOs are more beneficial than harmful. GMOs can provide nutrition to those who live in impoverished
