GMOs have been around for many years‚ but it has not been debated about until recently. GMO stands for genetically modified organism. GMOs are created through genetic engineering‚ which takes DNA from a species and adds it to another to make a new species. This allows farmers to grow the best crops using as little resources as possible. FDA has approved use of some crops such as corn‚ soy‚ cotton‚ and more. Most of the foods we eat are genetically modified. Genetically modified foods are safe to

GMOs: What’s the Big Deal? Manipulation of plants and animals to produce more desirable traits is certainly nothing new. In fact‚ the process of plant and animal breeding has been around almost since the time that humans evolved from hunting and gathering to farming. Animal breeders breed one type of dog‚ for example‚ with another‚ to combine the desired traits of both‚ and the results are called “cross-breeds”. Plant breeders cross one type of plant that may be high yielding but not drought

GMOs or genetically modified organisms have been a controversial term since the middle 1990s when the FDA approved the papaya to be genetically altered to save it from a worldwide virus leading to its demise. The rash and uneducated decision to save the papaya came without any form of long term effects to the delicate balance of our eco-system and populous.

Firstly on the topic of GMO labels‚ I personally believe that if a food product has been genetically modified that it should be labeled as such. In my research the FDA does not require testing for safety in such products (Kaldveer).This could lead to companies making potentially harmful or even deadly alterations to their product that would not be known until it was too late. My personal opinion is that not only should the FDA also start labeling but finding out what was actually altered in the company’s
