The Anti-GMO Movement Introduction Genetically Modified Organisms‚ also known as GMOs‚ are “living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering‚” (The Non-GMO Project). While genetic engineering has the capability of being beneficial to our society‚ The Non-GMO Project argues that it “creates unstable combinations of plant‚ animal‚ bacteria and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods‚”

GMOs‚ genetically modified organisms have always been a controversial topic among environmentalists‚ food corporations‚ and government agencies. GMOs has created such an uproar because many people have linked GMOs to childhood diseases. 70 to 80 percent of the processed and manufactured foods available in a conventional grocery store‚contain one or more ingredients that contain genetically engineered organisms ("Are GMOs Contributing to the Rise in Chronic Health Conditions in Our Children

health‚ the environment‚ and the impact on global economy. Genetically modified (GM) foods could produce new toxic substances‚ and/or allergens. A gene from the Brazil nut was inserted into the DNA of a soybean plant to increase the nutritional value of the soybean. However‚ this particular gene in the GM soybean also produced an allergen (a substance that causes allergic reactions in people). Fortunately‚ the plant was not put into production (McHughen 119). Another example is of a GM tomato called

GMOs have been proven to be safe for the environment and safe to consume‚ but a large part of society is still uncertain of GMOs. GMOs are being made for many reasons. As explained in the section Why Are GMOs Being Made? Of the article Everything You Absolutely Need to Know About GMOs “The companies involved in the biotech industry‚ such as Monsanto‚ DOW‚ Cargill‚ ConAgra and Syngenta‚ believe that among the many theorized benefits genetic engineering can deliver‚ higher crop yields‚ drought‚ bug

One big issue that leads to many to ask this question are GMOs‚ also known as Genetically Modified Organisms (Food). If you did not know‚ GMOs are special organisms in which the genetic material has been altered for improvement productivity and

gave rise to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and moving genes also referred to as genetic engineering (GE). These new genetically science allows genetic material from one species to be transferred into another species‚ creating transgenic organism with combinations of gene from plants‚ animals‚ bacterial or even a viral gene pools. This intentional transfer of genetic material has in turn brought biotechnology out from the laboratory to the field. GMOs and GE unique with lots of uncertainties because
