Should GMO Foods Be Labeled?
GMO Foods Should be Labeled
According to Down To Earth “One of the most dangerous and least understood experiments with human health the world has ever known is currently underway without your consent—in your household and households across the nation, indeed throughout our entire planet. It is the wholesale contamination of the world's food supply with genetically modified organisms (GMOs)”. According to Non-GMO Project “GMOs or Genetically modified organisms, are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.” GMO crops should be labeled because People have a right to know what their buying, and it’s not know yet if it is safe.

Some of the large companies that we buy from might not want you to know what is in their products. Some of these companies are Pepsi, Hines, and others. The reason they don’t put the GMOs on their products are because they don’t want to lose business, and money. But, because it has not yet been determined if GMOs are safe or not they should label genetically modified foods. According to Down To Earth “Specific engineered organisms may be harmful by the novel gene combinations they possess. No one knows with certainty how these new life forms will behave in the future, so the limited risk assessments conducted to date are poor predictors of the safety of GMOs over the long term.” Because People have a right to know what their buying, and it’s not know yet if it is safe, GMO crops should be labeled. They should be labeled, so that we know what foods are safe for us. According to Down to Earth “As of 2011, 88% of U.S. corn is genetically engineered as are 94% of soy, 95% of sugar beets, 90% of canola oil, 90% of cotton, and about 80% of Hawaiian papaya.”
