Thank you members of the FDA for letting me speak today regarding the morality of genetically modified foods. Different bioengineering‚ better known as genetically modified‚ methods have been prevalent in modern society for almost half a century. It has allowed scientists to transfer genes that would have never been able to interbreed in nature but with the help from scientists‚ can breed as naturally (Harvard Law). The technology that describes this is known as biotechnology. When somebody is asked

Study shows disadvantages of GM foods to human health British scientific researchers demonstrated that genetically modified DNA from crops can find its way into human gut bacteria‚ raising possible health concerns. This is because antibiotic-resistant marker genes are inserted with GM material‚ which could cause a person to be resistant to antibiotic medicines. The study was conducted at Newcastle University on seven human volunteers who‚ in the past‚ had their lower intestine removed and now use

thoroughly. The opinion genetically modified foods are strictly bad can be observed in our society with the movement to mainly eat organic produce and steroid free meat products from animals who were fed non-GMO feed. This way of shopping and consciously choosing alternative organic options is an ideal concept for many Americans who are concerned about the health of themselves and their families. There is great debate that has been brewing for the last decade about genetically modified foods and if they deserve

In 1998 the first genetically modified (GM) food was approved for public consumption. Since then GM foods have become part of the world’s food supply and are produced in several countries. While horror stories in the 90s promised dire consequences for introducing GM foods to the populace most of those problems have failed to arise as promised. Some scientists say that GM foods are completely safe and the proof might be that we are all still here to debate the point. GM foods are not labeled in the

Krysten Goodman “Should Genetically Modified Foods be Labeled?” Do people really know what they are eating? How many Americans have even the slightest clue as to what they are actually putting into their bodies? The answer may be quite alarming‚ and something needs to be done to stop the madness before the inevitable train wreck. It is no wonder that‚ as a whole‚ Americans are fatter‚ more diseased‚ and unhappier than ever before. Perhaps we have genetically modified foods to thank for our relatively

Health Risks of Genetically Modified Foods Genetically modified (GM) foods‚ introduced to the American Public in 1996‚ involves taking the genes of the DNA of one plant or animal and transferring them to another species creating a new organism. Justification for this scientific manipulation revealed promises to eliminate world hunger‚ make plants resistant to pests and disease‚ and produce healthier foods. Agribusiness giants‚ like Monsanto‚ Bayer‚ and Syngenta include some of the companies first

Approach For many years‚ people have been eating fast food without knowing the process the food goes through to make it taste the way it tastes. Even some today don’t know how fast food comes to be when it is set on the tray in front of them. Well‚ one may think that it’s just prepared by someone in the back of the restaurant‚ but if you go beyond the preparation of the meal‚ there are things that may make him or her not want to eat this type of food any longer. A word that will come up many times throughout

“this food is tastier than the other kind.” The reason for this is simple; genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is modification of a plant’s or animal’s DNA. Scientists do this to enhance a certain gene within the organism. Some opponents of genetically modified food argue that growing this kind of food will ruin the environment and the ecosystem permanently. In fact‚ genetically modified food is beneficial for the environment and for society. With the creation and use of genetically modified

------------------------------------------------- Genetically modified crops Genetically modified crops (GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineeringtechniques‚ to resist pests and agents causing harm to plants and to improve the growth of these plants to assist in farmers efficiency. Genetic engineering techniques are much more precise[1] than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create

GMO’s are No or Go? There is much controversy over whether or not GMO’s‚ or genetically modified organisms‚ benefit us and should be allowed‚ or if they are more harmful and should be banned. Genetically modified foods are beneficial because they save money‚ have greater resistance to pests and viruses‚ and they can hold more nutrition than regular foods. One of the crops that have most widely been genetically modified is corn. Biologists can inject genes in the corn that make the corn resistant
