want to eat genetically engineered (GE) food… …then you will want to stop the US from using the WTO as a weapon to force-feed the world GE food. We have a right to know what we are eating and to say no to GE food. But from field to fork‚ the food we eat and the seeds we plant in our fields are being targeted by the GE industry. It is attempting a corporate take-over of the entire food chain. Countries should not be bullied into accepting GE food‚ GE seeds or GE crops. Governments must feel free

Genetic Engineering = inserting a foreign gene of interest into a host to transcribe and translate a particular protein. Ex. Inserting the human insulin gene into bacteria to mass produce it. General Steps Obtain the gene of interest (ex. insulin gene) Insert the gene into the host (ex. bacteria) Allow the host to multiply and express the foreign gene get your desired protein! Get lots of cells that can

Genetic engineering (GE) is a recently developed technology that allows the alteration of the genetic make up of living organisms. This technology allows scientists not only to exchange genes from members of the same species‚ which is what farmers and nature has been doing through out history‚ but also the exchange of genes between completely separate species. For example genetic engendering allows scientists to insert the genes from a fish into a tomato‚ something that can never happen in nature

didn’t realize the hazards of genetically engineered (GE) foods till I read the chapter in Omnivores Dilemma. It’s really mind boggling to think what the farmers wage in risk so that they can produce more crop yields. The amazing thing is that the farmers know the potential hazards of growing GE foods. I didn’t realize that more than 75% of our foods are genetically engineered! These foods are commonly referred to as Franken foods. So get this! GE foods have never really been proven safe‚ but for
