Draft) Genetically Engineered Food Should people be worried about genetically engineered/modified food? Many people are starting to question what it is exactly that they are eating and how it could possibly harm them. Specifically‚ the harm that could befall them from GM food. A genetically modified organism is something that received one or more genes from another organism. There are three arguments that the people worried about GM food put on the table; those arguments being: GM food should

The Negative Consequences of Genetically Modified Food Genetically modified foods (GM foods‚ or biotech foods) are hazardous to your health. These foods are derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs)‚ specifically‚ genetically modified crops. GMOs have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. Genetically modified organisms‚ or GMOs‚ are created when a gene from one species is transferred to another‚ creating something that would not be found in

Are genetically modified foods safe to eat? Nowadays‚ genetically modified crops are planted worldwide. According to Human Genome Project‚ over 10 million farmers in 22 countries are planting genetically modified crops on the fields. The total acreage has reached a quarter billion (2011). Apparently‚ genetically modified foods have prominent benefits so that more and more people are planting them and eating them. Genetically modified plants are able to resist pests and certain kinds of diseases

The article called Genetically Modified Foods‚ has a style that is use to grab an audience emotion while still putting some facts. Right away in the first paragraph you will find ethos. Per Pinstrup-Anderson plays a key role in the article‚ he is the H.E. Babcock Professor of Food‚ Nutrition and Public Policy at Cornell University. Giving Per Pinstrup-Anderson a creditability‚ and having the audience attention. This is the only time in the article when ethos is being used to help their argument

Ever since the 1970s‚ genetically modified food have been rising in North America and even a couple of European countries. In the 1980 ’s Biotechnology companies began field-testing GMO (genetically modified organism) crops for large-scale agricultural use. By 1996‚ GMO grains were mixed with non-GMO grains and sent to food processing plants all over America. One of the first organisms to be genetically modified and sold in store shelves is the tomato because scientist found out a way to make it

2013 Genetically Modified Foods: Good for Us? Scientists have learned how to modify foods in the last decades of the twentieth century. That is‚ they have learned to manipulate the DNA of plants and animals. Scientists were able to transfer a trait from one organism to another by splicing the DNA of one organism into the DNA of another organism ("Introduction"). This process changes the genetic makeup of plants and labels these altered foods "genetically modified organisms." Food should not

The Hazardous Consequences of Genetically Modified Foods James P Collins 9/30/2013 CS 300T Professor Hui Shi Table of Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………….. 3 While technology is responsible for some of the most innovative and ingenious inventions of our time‚ not all technologies contribute positively to society. Genetically Modified Foods are an example of a negative use of technology. Due to insufficient scientific data concerning the safety of these products‚ and

science behind genetically modified food has been around since the nineteen-seventies with a respectable safety record to support its production. The advances have helped saved millions of lives in places like India‚ Bangladesh‚ and Southeast Asia with the production of Golden Rice. There are no known risks of genetically modified food however there is speculation that is can cause autism and allergic reactions because of the genes added or altered. The most common genetically modified foods are corn‚

Food has never been the main concern within developed countries‚ but eventually conventional farming methods will struggle to sustain the future’s population. When GMO- Genetically Modified Foods was first introduced‚ people were very skeptical about its safety to the environment and human health. Consequently‚ it has inspired many organizations to be created to protest against the use Genetically Modified Foods. It has been proven safe and is under constant supervision from national authorities
