Gmo's Are A Grand Experiment On Health, Enviorment: Article Analysis

I was born and raised in a small rural town in western Kansas. I have learned hardworking values growing up on a farm. My family relies on farming and ranching as a way of life. So, when I hear people talking about how GMO’s are bad for people’s health and our environment, it makes me feel concerned about the information people are receiving. GMO’s don’t affect the health of people or the environment at all. Instead they help to improve crop yields by modifying the seeds according to where a person lives by being drought resistant or bug resistant for example. This helps farmers and ranchers such as my family to make more profit from a higher yield. This results in more food produced which can help in a world with an ever-growing population.
She tells consumers to be wary about consuming GMO’s, since they have not been proven safe for consumption yet. She also says a healthy alternative to GMO’s would be the production and consumption of more fruits and vegetables. However, she is a Nutritionist who writes for Livescience. Nutritionist encourages people to eat more organic food such as fruits and vegetables. So, since she stands for more organic foods, it only makes sense that she would be opposed to modified foods.

This would contradict Tallmadge’s statement of how GMO’s won’t be a very reliable solution to solve world hunger. So, as you can see people demand more GM foods than they do fruits and vegetables, so it would not make since to plant more fruits and vegetables where GM foods used to be planted because then we would have a surplus of fruits and vegetables and a shortage of GM foods. If there is a surplus of fruits and vegetables that people don’t eat and a shortage on modified foods such as corn and soybeans, then this is making the problem of world hunger even worse. Consumers of food influence what producers will produce. If consumers truly want more fruits and vegetables, there would be a shortage of them because there would be a greater demand for them. If there was a greater demand for fruits and vegetables it would make it feasible for some farmers to convert
