specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering‚ using a process of either Cisgenesis or Transgenesis. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. Typically‚ genetically modified foods are transgenic plant products: soybean‚ corn‚ canola‚ and cotton seed oil. Last year‚ the Ministry of Agriculture awarded the safety cerfiticate to two kinds of transgenic rice‚ and this triggered a large-scale discussion. Many people oppose it and refuse to eat GM foods. They objected

decades. In an entry from GM education‚ the evidence “If you consider that Monsanto - the largest and the best known – licenses its genetically modified traits to other seed companies and as a result‚ more than 80% of US corn and more than 90% of soybeans planted each year are attributable to Monsanto then monopoly comes to mind”(GM Education). These numbers show exactly how miniscule the competition Monsanto is facing truly is. As an illustration of Monsanto’s devious tactics‚ writer Peter Whoriskey

Title Abstract Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to find an alternate fuel source that is more renewable that petroleum yet requires little change to the currently existing fuel infrastructure. An important part of any alternative fuel is that it must be cheaper to mass produce than gasoline or else it has lost a major advantage over petroleum. A promising alternative fuel source is biodiesel. Unlike ethanol‚ biodiesel can be used as a blend or pure biodiesel in standard diesel engines

What does a tomato‚ soybean‚ and McDonald’s French fry have in common? They are all some of the most commonly genetically modified foods sold on the market today. By using the genetic information from one organism‚ and inserting or modifying it into another organism‚ scientists can make food crops stay fresher‚ grow bigger‚ and have the crops create their own pesticides. Nevertheless‚ the technology to modify genes has surpassed its practicality. Genetically modified foods need to be removed from

Clarence Thomas was a Monsanto lawyer from 1976-1979‚ then he became a Supreme Court justice and allowed Monsanto to patent the soybean seed. In 1996‚ Monsanto began selling Roundup ready soybeans. In 1996 about 2% of soybeans in the US where from Monsanto‚ by 2008 90% of soybeans in the US where Monsanto’s seeds. Monsanto owns these seed which means a farmer cannot clean the seeds to reuse them the next year. The company employs about 75 people to

"Our daily choices about food connect us to a worldwide economic system‚" Lappe said in 1987. "Even an apparently small change--consciously choosing a diet that is good both for our bodies and for the earth--can lead toe a series of choices that transform our whole lives." From this perspective‚ vegetarianism is far more than just a flaky remnant of the ’70s--it’s the key to conservation‚ and to a sense of personal responsibility for the environment. Do we genuinely want to make a difference? The
