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 what are they

GMO Foods The topic of genetically modified foods is one that is hotly debated‚ but the problem is that the phrase GMO is very broad and encompasses techniques and modifications to food that you potentially should and shouldn’t be concerned about. At this point in time there doesn’t seem to be an overt benefit or risk to consuming GMO foods. According to the FDA‚ the big three GMO foods are soybeans‚ corn‚ and canola. But the FDA has also evaluated the safety of genetic modifications to flax

controversial issue of genetically modified foods‚ commonly known as GM’s‚ has only gained the attention of millions‚ since it became a prominent and highly debated global issue. Genetically modified foods are created when the genes of an organism are engineered and modified to create a new or enhanced version of that organism. The process of using different genes from different sources to genetically modify foods led to public outcry and sometimes‚ praise. People in support of genetically modified foods claims

The controversy over genetically modified (GM) food‚ also known as genetically modified organisms (GMOs)‚ is viewed in diverse manners worldwide. Some individuals believe that GM food is more beneficial to society than not‚ while others bear strong beliefs that they may cause negative and harmful effects in the future. There are several reasons that could lead a person to believe that GM foods have a variety of advantages. However‚ there are various factors that could lead a person to

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
