Genetically Modified Organisms By: Kevin Contreras
Genetically Modifying foods • Scientists manipulate DNA • Ability to cross different types of foods • Immune to pesticides • “Contaminated”
Dangers • Scientists are not allowed to do direct research since patented • Antibiotic Resistance • Toxic Buildup • Loss of nutritional value • AAEM
GM Plants • Soybeans • Corn • Cotton • Rice • Cantaloupe • Sugar • Tomatoes • Wheat • Papaya • Squash • Oilseed • Potato
Monsanto • Main GMO seed distributor • Refusesto be interviewed • Forces farmers to buy from them, or run them out of business. • Patent seeds • “Round Up” ready • Study on mice caused genetic damage
Disapproval • Europeans have banned GM foods • Lack of evidence that it is safe
Unfair advantage, GM animals will be bigger, stronger, and more resistant than regular animals making it harder for regular animals to survive.
