    The Term "Genetically Modified (GM) foods" refers to crops produced for human or animal consumption using the recombinant DNA techniques. The world population is growing in a fast pace such that it is expected to double in the next 50 years. Supplying food to this growing population is a major challenge. GM foods can be considered as the major solution for the food security. These foods are produced by the modification of crop plants in the laboratory to enhance desired traits‚ mainly biotic and

    and oil. Also this type of food can end world hunger. This type of food is not bad for the World. GMO Stands for Genetically modified organism. Genetically modified organism defines an organism or microorganism whose genetic material has been changed by means of genetic engineering. GMOS are made by when a gene from one organism is purposely moved to improve or change another organism in a laboratory. Also sometimes the name can be called “Transgenic.” GMOS can help end world hunger. Nearly a

    Film: Gattaca (Clip) General Observations: The birth scene has a gloomy tone and color scheme‚ suggesting that this method of living is something humans should avoid. Since this film is a futuristic film about the use of the findings from the Human Genome Project‚ this film is warning us about the possible misuse of the new genetic information. Geneticists are an important job in the film because after one second‚ the blood is being tested and geneticists can determine your life and future. This

    required to be labeled as such. The exceptions include meat‚ milk‚ and alcohol products‚ and foods sold in restaurants. Genetically modified food or genetically modified organisms are plants or animals that have had their genetic material changed‚ using genetic engineering techniques. When modified they develop genes that make them the ultimate crop or organism‚ so their production is easier and cheaper‚ on producers. It is estimated that around 40% to 75% of processed foods contain some sort of

    pesticides‚ some experts view genetically modified food as a panacea‚" Jefferson explains. Genetically modified foods grow faster and larger than non-GMFs‚ and may be more resistant to pests‚ heat‚ cold‚ and drought. This is accomplished by genetic engineering; genes that are transferred between (ANY) organisms. For example‚ a gene of a fish that lives in cold waters could be inserted into a strawberry so it can survive frost. Jefferson explains the current predicament of world hunger‚ and the potential

    Our Food is our Choice Genetically modified foods or GMOs (genetically modified organisms) resulted from “genetic engineering where scientists alter the genes of plant and animal DNAs for the desired specific traits” (Ackerman). In this case‚ GMOs have changes in their genomes and we cannot certainly tell how these changes can affect the consumers especially their health. In fact‚ according to Environment Canada‚ “Canada is the third largest producer of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in
