on GM Food Labeling The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began food labeling in the United States in 1938. It was an initial effort to protect public health through the transparency in food ingredients and their nutritional value. Today‚ with the emergence of genetically modified organisms (GMO) as food‚ another issue regarding labeling to champion consumer choice between GM and non-GM foods has been raised. But experiences of countries that adopted mandatory GMO labeling proved that

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are one of the most controversial‚ but important issues in the world. GMOs are organisms where the genetic material has been changed for improving the product quality and producing it faster. GMOs are resistant to disease‚ they can help humans suffering from famine‚ and produce more crops.It is not a secret that GMO-ed foods have spread out quickly to the whole world. If the generation of GMOs cannot be stopped‚ we should know why it is harmful to our health

GMOs What is a GMO? GMO stands for genetically modified organism. It can be argued that genetically modified organisms have been around as long as humans were using agriculture as a food source. By definition‚ an organism that has been changed genetically by any source that does not occur naturally is a GMO. Any farmer could cross two plants to create a more beneficial crop. Since their creation‚ GMOs have been used for scientific research and midicinal purposes. In 1953‚ the discovery of how DNA

contains GMO’s‚ or even what a GMO is. GMO’s can be found in soda‚ milk‚ canned soups‚ frozen foods‚ and even baby formula. GMO’s have had many positive and negative impacts on both humans and the environment. GMO’s were originally supposed to only have a positive impact‚ but with every single positive thing there are negative setbacks. Genetically modified foods and crops have many benefits. One of the most extraordinary benefits is that the GMOs can make crops that were going into drought

This is where you ask yourself: should I tell someone about this? GMO stands for genetically modified organisms‚ and they’ve been around longer than you think. Basically‚ they alter a part of the DNA structure‚ either literally modifying the chromosome or adding some. The chromosome is the component of the cell that
