The Problem of Genetically Modified Foods
analytical Essay
1780 words
Contrary to popular belief, the field of biotechnology is not new by any means. Archeological evidence shows that ancient Egyptians produced beer by steeping a starch source in water and then fermenting it with yeast, thus, the first form of biotechnology. Flash-forward to the mid-1800’s, scientists, with the help of Gregor Mendel’s laws of genetics, were able to successfully practice “selective breeding” amongst their crops. With this, the field of biotechnology took a huge turn. Scientists now had the understanding necessary to manipulate plants and mate them based on their desired traits. However, until recently, this was all done naturally, through plant-to-plant cross-fertilization. Nowadays, this process can occur instantly, with no need to wait for the natural life cycle of a plant. After a few groundbreaking discoveries, it became apparent that society could greatly benefit from the genetic altercation of these biological resources and consequently, biotechnology boomed.
Now, in the year of 2014, biotechnologists have the ability to do things akin to that of science fiction novels. The idea of genetically modifying plants to behave in any way we want, an idea once fantasized about many years ago, is now a reality. In our modern age, we can manipulate the actual DNA of an organism using enzymes to copy, cut and paste genes in any location or order we please. This technology is even used on the plants we consume as food, provoking a huge controversy on a global scale. This issue is most prevalent within the US though. In the year 2000, 68 percent of all the transgenic food within the world was produced in the US [Nottingham 7]. Furthermore, estimates suggest that as much as 80% of U.S. processed food may contain an ingredient from a GE crop [Lemaux 777]. With these significant statistics one would assume the American public is very opinionated on the matter, but shockingly, research by the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology has shown that in 2005 Americans’ knowledge of genetically modified foods and animals continued to remain low [Pew 2]. These shocking finding prove that, as a whole, Americans are uneducated about what they are eating and how it is produced. Genetically modified organisms, or GMO’s as they are called, will not be going anytime soon so it is absolutely necessary that every US citizen become educated on this possible life-...

1508 wordsRead More - The Pros and Cons of Genetically Modifying Foodopinion essayThe genetic modification of food is a very controversial subject around the world founded by Monsanto, a company involved in agricultural technology, in the 1980’s (Wikipedia). Since then, many other companies have also started to modify their food to avoid using pesticides. I define genetically modified foods (or GM foods) as foods produced from organisms that have had specific changes introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering (Wikipedia). There are many different views concerning GMOs and I will explore the ideological and ethical arguments associated with this subject. I will also analyse the global and national perspectives as well as my own, investigating what factors affect the decision of nations or individuals on whether GMOs are enriching or detrimental to health.

This point in history is known to as “the Reichstag fire”. Even though a series of accusations where thrown to frame the communist party and Van der Lubbe (Dutch communist) who was caught red handed on the day of the fire, Historians still struggle and disagree to decide who was to blame for the Reichstag fire.

1402 wordsRead More - Negative Essay: Should GMO Should Be Food?opinion essayThere is no denying that the most important item in people’s lives is food. With the United States’ current technology and advancements in farming, food is overall easy to acquire and comes in a large selection. However, an important staple to the human life and diet is the source of a large heated debate. This debate is over the topic of whether or not America should continue to take part in the production of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Opposers say that GMOs are harmful to the lives of humans and animals, while supporters argue that not only do GMOs pose no harm to anyone’s health, but are beneficial in numerous ways. I believe both sides bring up excellent points, arguments, and research. However, I believe that the growing population of America cannot continue to be supported by current agricultural methods, and GMOs are the inevitable solution to keeping America’s food supply thriving.

1690 wordsRead More - Controversy over Genetically Modified Foodopinion essayOver the past decade, there has been much debate on the topic of genetically modified foods. It has been questioned whether or not these products benefit society more than they hurt it. There has not been enough time to study the long term affects of this type of food, but recent findings have shown that the field offers great potential. There are many people who wish to see genetically modified foods banned because they are uncomfortable with the idea, but this type of thinking is completely illogical. Our society should be more accepting towards genetically modified foods because they are a great way to feed our growing population, extra nutrients can be added to the foods, and they offer us a wider, cheaper variety of food.
