we first had to gain an understanding about genetically modified organisms in general. This was rather easy because if you have been to any grocery store lately you have without a doubt seen products with labels saying "GMO-free" or even "contains only non-GMO ingredients." GMO actually stands for Genetically Modified Organisms‚ and this refers to any products that have been manipulated or altered at the gene level. Modifying plants is not a new concept.

1 GMOs in Our Food I never paid much attention to all the controversy going viral about GMOs until I started reading articles about this. America has brought forth the attention of eating healthy and staying fit in order to live a longer‚ healthier life. However‚ in order to do so‚ we need to know what we are putting into our bodies.

A stronger argument is that of how the genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are affecting the environment through natural transgenic methods such as cross-pollination. With more research and cautious testing genetically engineered produce could launch us into a new age of prosperity. Many wonder where this world of

Genetically modified food is based on using biotechnology to manipulate the food’s genetic code. GMO‚ which refers to ‘Genetically Modified Organisms’‚ are considered to be an innovation since it is way much faster to produce food‚ using GMO‚ and thus it may be the big solution for World Hunger. But are them safe for us? Do they present harm for the environment? GMO are very criticized. Despite the benefits of GMO‚ there are many opposing views.

going to be a major challenge in the years to come.” Many people would say that we should not use GMO crops because we can produce enough crops to feed the growing population but they are wrong. When a farmer uses a GMO crop vs. a non-GMO crop they are almost guaranteed something to harvest because the GMO crops can withstand floods‚ droughts‚ and they are more resistant to diseases and insects then non-GMO crops. Also by using GMO’s you do not have all of the hassle of conventional farming. In conventional
