GMO FRIEND OR FOE
Remember the good old days when your food would come straight from the local farm and you would know exactly what it was you were eating. No questions or second thought of “is this a healthy meal?” Back in those days you Wouldn’t have to go to a grocery store and struggle to find organic or GMO free food. So what is a GMO? A GMO or genetically modified organism is a form of gene tampering or manipulation commonly used in produce. GMOS were first created in the year 1980. GMO Were approved by the FDA in the year 1982. So now that you have that brief introduction in GMOS, lets talk a little bit about the history behind them. Humulin which is insulin produced from a modified form of E-COLI this was the first ever FDA approved GMO on the market. When Humulin was invented it was a true medical breakthrough that made insulin for diabetic patients extremely affordable, so affordable In fact that even those who had no insurance could easily obtain it. In 1994 GMO were introduced to the …show more content…
super markets around America. At first they began by enriching certain foods with nutrients that would never naturally occur such as keratin in rice so that those who could not afford expensive foods were still getting proper nutrients in their bodies and that way could afford to take care of themselves and families for a low price. So this shows that GMOS were actually invented as a betterment for mankind. It would seem that once they discovered what kind of money they could make with them that all the ethical reasons were thrown out the door thus began the era we know of the dreaded GMOS. When they began modifying foods they learned that they could literally change all then characteristics of a food such as taste shape size color and even ripeness. They also found a way to make the food itself a pesticide which they deemed harmless to humans. They were wrong. In the year 2011 BT Toxin was found in the human stomach Toxin is form of insecticide that is Injected into GMO foods which is designed to make the stomachs of insects literally explode upon consumption. Apart from bt toxin people also began developing food allegeries that never existed before.
Those who are greatest risk for GMO illness or negative symptoms are pregnant women and children due to their weaker immune systems.
Animals are also at risk to serious defects illness, and sicknesses due to being injected now a days with these gene altering shots. So how do we avoid putting these poisons in our body? Well, changing diet from a GMO rich diet to and natural organic and GMO diet. Exercise to help flush out your body and the toxins from within. Vitamins and minerals to make sure your body is getting proper nutrients.
In Conclusion it would seem that GMOS were once created for the betterment of mankind. It looks like somewhere down the road they discovered the profit they could pull from injecting our foods with these genes. The only way we can fight back is to avoid GMO foods and show them that we will not deliberately poison our bodies simply because its cheaper. Only you can protect yourself. Is your body worth
it?
