Through transportation and agriculture it is very important to the growth of the United States. To begin with, the Mississippi River provides transportation which is a key factor in countries around the world. “Transportation barges throughout the Midwest can ship to and from ports accessible…

Since GMOs (or genetically modified organisms) were introduced in the mid-1990s, allergies and other health problems including reproductive disorders and autism have been escalating. Time and time again, genetically modified foods have been presented as being “the same” as their organic counterparts, so that the labeling of them in unnecessary, but the facts seem to sing a different song. Genetically modifying foods has been praised for the impressive number of crops the practice yields with the…

Introduction The word biotechnology refers to a combination of biology and technology. A commonly used biotechnology technique used today is genetic engineering also known as genetic modified (GMO). Genetic engineering is when new DNA is added to an already existing organism. In this paper, I will be discussing how foods are genetically engineered. Genetically engineered foods are foods that DNA has been changed in a way that does not happen normally. These products are used by varies type of…

George W. Carver was an African-American Scientist, Inventor, Chemist, and Botanist.

George was born into slavery and his birth was said to be around 1861 near…

I believe that GMOs are also harmful to consumers, and multiple tests have pointed to this. According to Jeffrey Smith's article "Health Risks", "GM plants, such as soybean, corn, cottonseed, and canola, have had foreign genes forced into their DNA. The inserted genes come from species, such as bacteria and viruses, which have never been in the human food supply. The text also states "Rats fed GM potatoes had smaller…

Introduction Have you ever considered trying out something new? Like eating dog food? Sounds weird, doesn’t it? People say that dog food is a disgusting thing to consume. Whenever you have some disgusting meal, it is always likened to dog food. Anyway, dog treats are very nutritious foods that can supply the required nutrients needed in the body. The same nutrients that bring dogs to their desirable weight and shape can also bring someone to a desirable body shape and weight too. Anyway, there…

Ashley Kupfner Three-Source Synthesis Paper 4/15/2015 World of GMOs While out shopping for food have you ever wondered what is in the food or what makes some foods cheaper? Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs, have created many opportunities to lower food prices, but how is this done? Many companies like Monsanto, Clange, Aventis, Dupont, and Syenta have overcome this strange feat to produce food with genes that are modified or engineered to improve production and/ or profit of the…

In today’s world it seems like there is a growing number of people that are being plagued with mental health diseases. In particular Alzheimer’s appears to affect a growing number of people each year. Alzheimer’s is considered to be the “sixth leading cause of death in the United States today” (Latest Alzheimer 's Facts and Figures, 2016). While many research is being conducted to figure out the best way to combat this, there seems to be one deterrent that stands above all. This deterrent…

is linked with hyperactivity, allergic reactions, and tumor growth” (“Why Food Coloring Is Bad and What to Use Instead”). Seattle Oragnic Restaurant stated that “the majority of the soybeans… are now genetically modified, and one or more of these can be found in nearly every processed food” such as vegan food. Soybeans is what vegans go for to get their proteins, but now they cannot be sure if it safe for them. Vegans searching for healthy options are definitely having…

of genetically altered crops is problematic, mainly because it is the root of many other issues. Such high unpredictability can be dangerous and costly if distributed without the proper testing. Gerald Nelson reports crops such as GM cotton and soybeans were rushed to market without the proper testing, and failed. “As a result of the losses suffered, compensation was paid to farmers in (at least) Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, and Texas (Lambrecht, 1998 and Hansen, 2000)” (Nelson…
