The controversial issue of genetically modified foods‚ commonly known as GM’s‚ has only gained the attention of millions‚ since it became a prominent and highly debated global issue. Genetically modified foods are created when the genes of an organism are engineered and modified to create a new or enhanced version of that organism. The process of using different genes from different sources to genetically modify foods led to public outcry and sometimes‚ praise. People in support of genetically modified

’Genetically modified Products: Harmful or Helpful? Genetic‚ modification in products is not a new concept‚ for many years‚ scientist have been doing research in this field‚ consequently there have been a lot of discussion on whether genetic modification of a product is bad or good. Genetic modification was limited to mixing traits of organisms only within the same family of species‚ but due to advanced biotechnology‚ scientist can now genetically modify different species. Genetically engineered

New Zealand imports 57 varieties of genetically modified foods. Food does not have to be labelled as containing GMO products if the amount is less than 1 per cent‚ or the GMO ’s DNA has been removed during processing‚ therefore it is no longer considered

GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CROPS 1 GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CROPS 2 Abstract Currently a massive debate has formed over the use and labeling of genetically modified crops. These crops have had their genes altered to allow them to fend off insects‚ weeds‚ draught‚ and become more nutritious. The debate has exploded in California‚ the largest

which means that they can no longer sell the crops that are contaminated (Smith). Another harmful effect that GMOs have on the environment is that they increase herbicide use‚ which allows for more toxins to be present. For example‚ the company Monsanto produces a herbicide known as Roundup‚ and the company then sells Roundup Ready crops‚ which are designed to survive the implementation of Roundup (Smith). The overuse of Roundup‚ however‚ results in superweeds that are resistant to the herbicide

In a world where the population is growing at an alarming pace‚ the agricultural biotech corporation Monsanto and its scientists are now trying to create solutions to feeding the people more abundantly. Many claim that the solution to end famine start and end with speeding up the process of growing food. Nearly 15 percent of United States households struggle to put food on the table and by growing food faster it may decrease this statistic. Genetically modified foods have been researched and put
