Genetically Modified Food Research

Science, chemical and big name companies had done hazardous experiments with the consumers food without the world’s communities approval and it still continues today. Genetically modified organisms, also known as “Proposition 37,” had contaminated the food supply. “A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced in the genes of an unrelated plant or animal” (Seeds of Deception). The results had no health benefits, only financial benefits to the companies that produce them. The genetically modified organisms of animals or plants today had hurt the environment and had caused health problems in the nation, and even around the world; a promise
Robert Goldberg a plant molecular biologist said, “Frankenstein monsters, things crawling out of the lab,” he says. “This the most depressing thing I’ve ever dealt with’” (The Truth about Genetically Modified Food). Goldberg expressed hopelessness as he knew the genetically modified organism was full of many unknown health risks. The opposing side, David Williams, a cellular biologist said, “Thirty years ago we didn’t know that when you throw any gene into a different genome, the genomes reacts to it” (The Truth about Genetically Modified Food). Many scientists, based on what they know of the genetically modified organism said that there was still so much to learn about genetically modified organisms, and that they are still discovering unknown factors about
These companies had spent millions and millions of dollars to fight the labeling. “GMO Labeling Ballot Initiative (I-522) in Washington could have given citizen the right to know, mandating clear labeling of genetically engineered ingredients on food packages. Numerous companies have given hundreds or thousands and millions of dollars to fight this GMO labeling bill” (Coca-Cola out Shells out over $3.2 Million to Defeat GMO Labeling). Big name and chemical companies had gave over forty-six million dollars in opposition for labeling the genetically modified organism (Coca-Cola out Shells out over $3.2 Million to Defeat GMO Labeling). If big name companies had spent that much money to stop the consumers right to know, they probably had no interest in what the consumers thoughts
