GMO Pursuasive Essay

Genetically modified foods (GMOs) were never intended for human consumption, but they are in about seventy percent of our food. GMOs are foods that have their genes modified making them taste better, have more nutrition, and grow more efficiently. Genetically modified food must be banned because we have everything we need from God, we may be hurting our environment, and we don’t know if modifying food is safe for humans.

God created all foods people need to survive and people do not need to create their own. One example is in the book of Genesis where it says: “Then God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth vegetation: every kind of plant that bears seed and every kind of fruit tree on earth that bears fruit with its seed in it.’ And so it happened: the earth brought forth every kind of plant that bears seed and every kind of fruit tree on earth bears fruit with its seed in it. God saw how good it was”(Genesis 1:11-12). God created every plant for us, and other people are creating faux food. People should not work against the power of God. Further, the book of Genesis, reads: “The Lord God gave man this order: ‘You are free to eat from any of the trees of the garden except the tree of knowledge of good and bad. From that tree, you shall not eat; the moment you eat from it you are surely doomed to die’” (2:16-18). What if the modified foods are the fruit from the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and bad? We should not eat those foods or we are doomed to die. Finally, toxins used in genetically modified foods were found in a mother and her baby. God didn’t create people with toxin in them, why then, are there toxins in people? Obviously, people should never create other un-Godly foods.

...to some broccoli because it has peanut cells in it. Without doubt, people must only eat food that is one hundred percent proven safe, so we must not eat GMO foods.
Genetically altered foods definitely must be illegal to follow God’s commands, to save ourselves, and to protect our environment. I think genetically modified foods are fatal and must be illegal. Our creator, God, provided everything we need. We should not eat other man-made things, that their creator said were not made for humans. Why then do we eat GMOs? The chemicals they put in the foods are naturally in dirt and would break themselves down after serving their purpose, but people put the chemicals in the food and we devour these chemicals like candy. If I wanted to eat dirt and chemicals, I would walk outside, put my face in the dirt and lick it up! Why then, do we pay money to eat dirt?
