McWilliams favor the heavy usage of technology‚ praising its convenience and positive impact on the environment. While arguments can be made on both sides of the spectrum‚ the usage of technology to mass produce and make genetically modified organisms (GMOs) seems the most realistic as it satisfies the desires of the majority of Americans‚ helps to protect the environment‚ and enables food producers to sustain the increasing global population. In his article titled “Mass Production of Food is Ruining

let those companies insert Monsanto genes into about 96 percent of U.S. soybean crops and 80 percent of all corn crops. (CBSNews.com‚ 2011) Monsanto Corporation uses unethical business practices to monopolize on the Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) market. * By all but eliminating the option for farmers to clean their own seed – forcing them to purchase seed year after year. ”Critics of the seed technology patents‚ such as the Center for Food Safety as well as more widely-known entities

is still harmful to human because it can provoke mutations inside food genes and create allergies and unknown health threats to human. The positive effects of GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) are known to the world in many ways. A positive effect of GMO is that it can reduce the use of pesticides and other chemicals. GMO can do this because the food gene is designed to resist against pests‚ insects‚ herbicide‚ and other organisms that invade plants. Scientists have selected genes from

MONSANTO Monsanto Company is a leading global supplier of herbicides and seeds. It makes the leading brand of herbicide‚ which it markets under the Roundup brand. It also leads the world market for genetically modified (GM) seed and produces GM varieties for corn‚ soybeans‚ and cotton. Furthermore‚ Monsanto has developed genetically engineered seeds for crops to resist Roundup. The company claims that ‘Monsanto is a sustainable agriculture company. We deliver agricultural products that support

SAY NO TO GMO’s INTRODUCTION Attention Material: About a year ago‚ I remember shouting at my husband Henry trying to convince him the difference between GM foods and organic foods. ”No! You just don’t get the concept of GMOS”‚ I yelled. It was a nice Sunday afternoon‚ when I and Henry had this big argument on GMO’s‚ which later on continued the whole day right from the grocery store to the dinner table. Thesis statement: What are GMO’s? What is genetic engineering? Seeing and discussing answers

“Can you hear me now? …Good” “Ba Da Da Da Da‚ I’m lovin’ it” “Pork… The other white meat.” “You’re not you when you’re hungry!” “Zoom Zoom”. Slogans like these are extremely appealing and can get lodged in your memory forever. It doesn’t take much for a consumer to be lured by catchy slogans when it comes to making financial choices. Marketing influences are especially successful when it comes to decisions about food. This is a result of an uneducated consumer base. Perception versus reality of

The first time Americans became aware that GMO’s were part of their everyday dietwas 2001. 80 – 90% of Americans want GMO labeled. GMO labeling is the key way we can trace health effects and get corporations liable for these effects. Farmers make no difference from seed and grain. Should life be patented? 60% of our food is genetically processed. GMO wheat is a big concern. Relations between Thailand and the United States have become strained following the identification

the 1980’s‚ it was discovered that pieces of one organism’s DNA could be transferred to another’s DNA. The first transgenic (genetically modified) plant was created in 1983. It was a tobacco plant that resisted antibiotics. Later in 1995‚ a now-major GMO producer‚ Monsanto‚ introduced a genetically modified soy bean seed‚ which was immune to herbicide. It wasn’t until 2000 that it was discovered to be possible to add nutrients and vitamins to enrich genetically modified foods. (Add Citation.) By 2004

and big name companies had done hazardous experiments with the consumers food without the world’s communities approval and it still continues today. Genetically modified organisms‚ also known as “Proposition 37‚” had contaminated the food supply. “A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced in the genes of an unrelated plant or animal” (Seeds of Deception). The results had no health benefits
