Bibliography 49
It has been determined that GMO’s are made up of plants, animals, viruses and bacteria that are created in laboratories. Scientist started experimenting with GMO’s in the early 1950’s with investigation of plants DNA. In the 1970’s scientist developed the first genetically engineered organism. By the early 1990’s biotechnology had expanded on production of GM foods to the public, but this brought fourth concerns.
There are also those who believe that the laws and regulations that are attributed to genetically modified foods have been influenced through both the media and political

Bibliography: 1983-Researchers transfer new DNA into plants, leading to the creation of genetically modified crops. 1989-Calene Inc 2012-Anti-GMO groups file petitions containing more than 1 million signatures demanding that the FDA require GM foods to be labeled….Californian vote scheduled for Nov. 6 on ballot initiative requiring labeling for GM foods” (McClure, 2012, p. 727). Other advantages of GM foods include disease resistance, cold tolerance, drought resistance, nutrition, pharmaceuticals, and phytoremediation (Whitman, 2012, pp. 2-4).
