The Pros And Cons Of GMO Regulation

When the American Anti-Imperialist League was founded in 1899, the American government since occupying Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippine Islands. Mark Twain, Andrew Carnegie and William James and many honorable citizens were the founding members of the Anti-Imperialist League and the objective of the League was to campaign against the control of the Philippines. To the platform of the American Anti-Imperialist League their opposition of the expansion the imperialism as they believed it is hostile to liberty and they being biased toward the America of their annexation against Philippines.

A GMO is a genetically modified organism that goes through the process of genetic engineering. This is when genes of one organism are extracted, altered, and then artificially placed into another organism to then grow. We typically see GMOs in the food we consume every day. These foods include fruits and vegetables, however the most common organisms that are genetically engineered include, corn, soy, and cotton. It is ultimately the unnatural cross breeding of plants, animals, bacteria, and virus genes (Non-GMO Project). But now why is there a debate for placing a label to notify consumers of GMOs in their foods? Do we know the potential harm that GMOs can cause? We have the right to know what we are putting into our bodies and what is found in our everyday foods.

For thousands of years, humans have been genetically enhancing other organisms through the process of selective breeding. Polls indicate alarm over the contamination of everyday foods. Americans are especially concerned about Genetically Modified Organisms. So, are they good or not? According to NewsELA, PRO/CON: Is it time to label GMO foods? GMO foods? Andrew Pollackmay's "Genetically Engineered Crops are Safe, Analysis Finds", and Janet Renee's "Benefits you get from a GMO" they talk about the merits and the demerits of GMO crops. GMOs are plant or animal products that have been reengineered in a lab. Scientists use the DNA of bacteria,

Many will argue that Genetically Modified Organisms(GMOs) are not safe for human consumption, however they are almost inevitable for our everyday food consumption. Some argue that the recent increase in gluten intolerance is caused by GMO foods (Argument against). Other state that the risk to humans by GMO’s is relatively small (The GMO”). The bottom line is what people put into their bodies is a personal choice and a person should be able to easily tell if a product has been genetically modified or not.

Genetically Modified Organism or GMO is an organism that has been altered genetically. There are many possibilities for altering an organism such as growing conditions, quantity, or even scientific breakthroughs. Many choose a side over this heated debate, whether GMOs are safe or if they are harmful to humans. Currently about two-thirds of all items in the supermarket is GMO(Corn The Miracle Crop). GMO promise increase crop yields, lower costs, and less herbicides and pesticides. Altering the organisms genetics could negatively affect the organism resulting in an unstable product. Researchers have found that an unstable product can result in poor crop production, decrease in nutritional value, toxic and

Mile Davis said, "You can tell the history of jazz in four words: Louis Armstrong. Charlie Parker" (Griffin) Charlie Parker, one of the most imperative jazz soloists, composer and saxophonist, was born in Kansas city, Kansas. He was one of the representative figures of Bebop jazz style. Bebop style appeared as a crucial jazz style in the jazz history. Owning distinctive characteristic, Bebop style jazz left a tremendous impact on the following music pieces.

The companies that produce the GMOs are certain that they will improve the production of crops, but that is all they care about they have no idea how dangerous their product is to humans. The production of these genetic foods should be stop until they are proven safe to be consumed by humans without having any allergic reactions to them or any harm to our health. One bite of a food that contains a gene from a plant or any other food that a person might be allergic to could be fatal hazard and they might not even know what happens to them. Therefor there should be no more use of GMOs in

It has been shown that some GM crops can be less nutritious and possibly toxic in comparison to natural food. Because of this, many large countries such as Japan have put bans on GMO containing foods. GM foods are not labeled in the US and other countries so consumers are not monitored for health conditions that may result from long term use. Some reports have also linked GMO to possible cancers. In addition to the health effects, GMO crop technology can affect smaller farmers and our environment. GM crops are too expensive for the smaller farmers to grow, forcing the smaller farms into debt or off their land. This hurts the economy, as farms are disappearing while large GMO food companies are taking over. In addition, the initial drop in herbicide use on GM crops that was reported has now been followed up with a large increase in use due to the resistance that has developed, and farmers have had to use more and more powerful chemicals on crops. These chemicals are toxic to people, livestock and may possibly contaminate the

In conclusion, GMOs and pesticides are harmful and alarming to producers and consumers. They cause animals pain and harm humans when consumed. Many animals live short and painful lives, while humans now must suffer with long term diseases or damage to their bodies. Although some argue that Genetically modified produce is benefiting producers and consumers, I still argue that genetically modified organisms harm animals and

In December 2014, a Harvard professor wrote an article outlining the many benefits of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and why it is a good idea to use them. This professor is now surrounded by controversy because he failed to note his connection to the largest producer of GM seeds, Monsanto, who not only told him to write the article but also gave him the major points he was to address. Why was this such a huge deal, and why did Monsanto want a pro-GMO article out there so badly? The GMO debate is largely controversial, but largely misunderstood because of the misinformation given by biased writers, such as John Hibma, a nutritionist and author who wrote the article “More Pros Than Cons.” What many people do not realize is that genetic modification is a serious issue and that articles like Hibma’s fail to disclose the truth about the numerous health, crop, and environmental concerns surrounding GMOs.

Many people don’t like the idea of GMO’s but scientists have found an alternative using the technique known as CRISPR-Cas9. This new technology allows scientists to change delete or replace dna much easier than before. Theoretically, this technology allows scientists to grow better, bigger and more nutritious crops in environments that could be unfit for vegetation . Because it is cheap and quick to produce, many scientist believe that it would be a tool to fighting world hunger, and malnourished countries could gain access to more nutritious food. Even though the CRISPR and GMO’s are modified by different processes, people are still skeptical about the edited foods despite the fact that 88% of scientists agreed that they are safe to eat.

It has been more than a century since Vincent van Gogh daubed his last piece of art. While his fame as an artist did not come during his lifetime, his revolutionary use of color may have possibly been the most crucial feature of his work. He had the capability of evoking deep emotions just using the simplest of subjects, proving that his mind was in a constant state of change. Although he faced many struggles within his lifetime, possibly the removal of his own ear, caused great speculation of his mental state. At the same time while faced with great adversity and speculation, one can only wonder what drove this brilliant artist insane. Was he truly mad, or was his intellect too great for his own mind to bear? What was the true meaning behind his legendary piece, Starry Night?

There are many opinions on GMOs, many of which are bad. But, most opinions cannot be supported because of the limited information we have on GMOs. Still, I have collected the information that we do have and concluded that GMOs are good and should be used more often. This is because GMOs reduce pesticide use, GMOs can provide vaccines, proteins, and other pharmaceutical goods, and lastly, GMOs can provide food to prevent allergies. Although there is a big debate on whether GMOs are good or bad for you, with the limited information we have, I have chosen the most valuable reasons to support that GMOs are good.

Much of the public concern surrounding the safety of GMOs stems from the process of actually creating them. This is admittedly not a natural process, which is a surefire way to raise critic’s eyebrows in doubting their safety. However, there is no evidence that supports these myths. The Committee on Genetically Engineered Crops, The National Academy of Science, and the Board on Agriculture and Natural Recourses all agree after extensive testing and observation that there is no additional harm in the consumption of GMO food. The research conducted in animal studies, as well as chemical analysis of the crops, show no indication that GMOs are negatively affecting human health. The next allegation hurled at GMOs is that they may have

According to the World Health Organization (2014. 1), "Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be defined as organisms (i.e. plants, animals or microorganisms) in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination. The technology is often called 'modern biotechnology ' or 'gene technology ', sometimes also 'recombinant DNA technology ' or 'genetic engineering '. Foods produced from or using GM organisms are often referred to as GM foods.” Many organic crops farming farmers are against cultivating of GM crops because of the threat to farm land and environment however, biotechnology companies and GM crops growing famer desire to have profit and consumer look for low price. Thus, the debate over the environmental impact of genetically modified GM crops is growing. Although GM crops negatively affects on some organism in environment, they reduce the use of pesticides and increase crop yield.
