The story of potato chips dates back to late 1850s‚ when a New York chef presented deep fried crisp potato chips to the railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt. Although the invention was made out of curiosity‚ it became an instant hit after Vanderbilt gave it an approval. Till date‚ potato chips are one of the most favorite snacks among many Americans. To keep up with the healthy trend at present‚ many chips makers now have baked alternatives to traditional chips. Here are few choices of our top chips

that is in dry and salty soil. However‚ because they are genetically modified‚ the government regulates them very strictly. ”A 2010 report recently published by the European Union on GMO safety research over the past 10 years concluded that GMO crops are not different from crops modified by other techniques. Yet GMO crops are the only ones regulated by governments.” So even though they are said to be safe by certified scientists‚ the Government still decides to limit and regulate GM food very strictly

In the case with Haiti‚ donating 475 tons of a hybrid corn seed seems harmless‚ it’s not even a GMO‚ but introducing a hybrid plant that doesn’t produce new seeds could undermine their way of agriculture. It would seem more appropriate to provide them with traditional seeds to make them more independent. In the case of the

been a spike in the cultivation of transgenic crops. Since the very first GM food marketed (a tomato that wouldn’t go so soft as quickly) it has continuously gone up. There are two main types of GMOs ones that are herbicide tolerant and others that are resistant to devastating insect. Herbicide tolerant GMOs can be sprayed with herbicides that kill weeds but not the genetically modified crops. This was developed by the company Monsanto. The second type of GM crop is resistant to devastating insects

One of the most hotly-contested debates in the world right now is the use of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOS). GMOS were first used during this third agricultural revolution. They are engineered to be the most useful and marketable to humans. When altering the size or flavor to get the most desirable trait‚ people are more apt to buy those perfect specimens‚

Introduction: In recent years‚ giant transnational companies are carrying out a dangerous global experiment by introducing large numbers of genetically engineered foods into our diet. It has since been a subject of immense debate as to whether genetic engineering is harmful or helpful. Genetically Modified (GM) food is produced when the genetic makeup of a crop is altered to produce a crop with a desirable trait. It is produced via the gene technology whereby the gene of interest is spliced into

biotechnology also helps in producing better food‚ conserving the environment and creating cure for diseases. Along the good advantages of biotechnology come the risks of using it. There are issues regarding the effects of eating GMOs to the human health. Currently‚ there are GMOs that are considered to be harmless to humans but there are also unknown effects‚ which we are not aware of yet. Another issue is the potential ecological risk of biotechnology. Genetic pollution is an issue

The company through the years dipped into several area including artificial sweeteners‚ chemicals pesticides‚ plastics‚ growth hormones‚ and genetic sequencing. The United States and Japan were open to genetically manufactured products but the European countries were not. Monsanto continues to combat environmentalists and the inability to educate the Europeans in the benefits of biotechnology

Bt corn is a genetically modified organism‚ often referred to as a GMO. “A GMO is a plant or animal that has been genetically modified through the addition of a small amount of genetic material from other organisms through molecular techniques.” (Bessin‚ 1999 rev. 2004‚ p.1). The production of GMO’s came about because of the need to provide a form of
