GMO Fears and Controversies A 2003 poll showed that 92 percent of Americans favor labeling genetically Engineered (GE) food. Why would this food need labeled? Because it was created by transporting a gene from one organism to another‚ therefore making it a new organism. This action is done in animals and plants alike. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are organisms whose genomes have been altered to favor certain characteristics (Diaz). For many years there has been breeding done in plants so

genetically altered food and pharmaceutical crops that can only be grown with a proper license and new seeds must be purchased each year. Regrettably genetically engineered crops cannot be contained.

Farmer Percy Schmeiser refused to give in‚ Schmeiser had been in the farming business and developing his own seeds for fifty years‚ then had his fields

Environment GMOs allow plants to be modified to grow in environments that would be normally inhospitable. Genetically modifying crops improve their cold tolerance. Unexpected frost can destroy sensitive seedlings. An antifreeze gene from cold water fish has been introduced into plants such as tobacco and potato and strawberries. With this antifreeze gene‚ these plants are able to tolerate cold temperatures that normally would kill unmodified seedlings. Because the plants can survive in harsher
