Genetically Engineered Foods
Alright, so since we had to do this research paper, I decided to research Genetically Engineered Foods. There are so many different viewpoints of how Genetically Engineered Foods affect the world it's hard to condense them all into one paper. A basic summary of the clashing oppinions of Genetically Engineered Foods revolves around four main ideas. Their is potential for many benefits, including enhanced taste of food, larger yields of crop and enhanced nutrient supply. Their is potential for many risks, including fatal allergens and toxicants through genetic engineering. Some skeptics feel the reason for the foods are to generate more profit to big crop organizations, thus causing the poor to stay the same and increasing revenue for the major businesses. And finally, the FDA and EPA released the foods way to early before thoroughly reviewing them. They just granted them a GRAS (Generally Reecognized as Safe) and slapped certain labels on them. So now that you know a little bit more about Genetically Engineered Foods, what are your views.
Do you feel that these foods should be on the market yet?
Do you feel that they should never even be released into the market?
Or, are there any mixed feelings?
Feel free to comment however you want.
