In 1998 the first genetically modified (GM) food was approved for public consumption. Since then GM foods have become part of the world’s food supply and are produced in several countries. While horror stories in the 90s promised dire consequences for introducing GM foods to the populace most of those problems have failed to arise as promised. Some scientists say that GM foods are completely safe and the proof might be that we are all still here to debate the point. GM foods are not labeled in the

William Pittman 3/08/15 Section 79 COMP - Bryant The Invisible Monopoly By definition‚ a monopoly is the exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service (Webster).

The Totonac people‚ who inhabit the Mazatlan Valley on the Gulf Coast of Mexico in the present-day state of Veracruz‚ were the first to cultivate vanilla.

relatives of the wasps and ants. They are found on every continent on earth‚ except for Antarctica because it is so cold there. Bees of all varieties live on nectar and pollen. Without bees‚ pollination would be difficult and time consuming. One-third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination. Bees have a long‚ straw-like tongue called a probiscus that allows them to drink the nectar from deep within blossoms. Worker bees are the most familiar-looking member of the honeybee hive‚ as

Their doings affect our daily lives. They directly help us through pollination of our food crops. Many of the foods we eat are thanks to Honeybees. In fact‚ “About one-third of the human diet is derived from insect-pollinated plants and honey bees are responsible for 80 percent of this pollination” (“Honey Bees and Pollination”). Honeybees able us to eat a variety of foods from nuts to fruits. Peaches‚ strawberries‚ onions‚ broccoli‚ and kidney

In my opinion‚ the killer bee was created by scientists in brazil to help decrease the population of humans. From the moment they were created‚ killer bees induced around one thousand deaths every year..After escaping the lab the killer bee began taking over mexican and american honey bee hives. Our descendants of southern african bees brought to america by brazilian scientist trying to breed a regular honey bee to an african bee and created the one and only Killer Bee.
