The Benefits of Organic Food—Draft #1 Organic food‚ once only found in health food stores‚ is now a consistent element at local supermarkets.

Borma (2017) defined food wastage as food produced but never eaten‚ prepared but never consumed.

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a plant‚ animal or microorganism whose genetic code has been altered‚ subtracted‚ or added (either from the same species or a different species) in order to give it characteristics that it does not have normally. A GMO is created when DNA from one organism is combined with another organism’s DNA to make one molecule. With genetic engineering they can make bigger and more nutritious fruit and vegetables. Human embryos can be genetically modified in case

In this scenario‚ George has a tough decision to make. I think George should continue to look for another corn supplier that sells quality corn at a reasonable rate. George can also find out who supplys their competitior Abco Snack Food corn and try to get the corn for the same price.
