You may be wondering what GMOs are? GMOs or genetically modified organisms are plants and animals that have been genetically modified with DNA bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals. GMOs are present in most plants stored every day, yes, this is something many people don't realize or are not informed about. The reason I chose this question is because I feel like people need to be informed about what's going on in their bodies. “Increasingly, Americans are taking matters into their own hands and choosing to opt out of the GMO experiment” (NON GMO ORJECT, 2014). This issue is important not only to Americans but also to other foreign countries. At the moment it doesn't hurt anyone, but we never know that as the years go by something happens, it's better for people to know as soon as possible. Aspects of GMOs that will be covered in the research will be the history, benefits, most common GMO foods, and stopping GMOs. The biggest question I'm looking to answer is: Do GMOs harm the human body? When did GMOs start? DNA was discovered in 1935 by Russian scientist Nikolayevich Belozersky. He was a full member of the Academy of Sciences. In 1980, first patent for GMOs.” In 1980, a court case between a General Electric genetic engineer and the U.S. Patent Office was settled by a five-to-four Supreme Court decision, granting the first patent on a living organism. The GMO in question is a crude oil-palatable bacteria, ready to gobble up spills” (GMOINSIDE, 2013). A few years later, the FDA approved the first GMO. In 1994, the very first GMO hit stores. It’s crazy to think that was only 19 years ago! The product they injected, the GMOs, was in the tomatoes. Before the 2000s, it was in 1999 that GMO food crops dominated. Over the years...... middle of paper ...... hosting boring GM fields. While this contamination is troubling for those of us who want to avoid GMOs, it can be an economic disaster for organic and family farmers. » (SIGMOID, 2012) GMOs, as you can see, are ultimately not very useful. could be beneficial and harmful. In my opinion, I feel like foods shouldn't contain GMOs at all. I feel like food should stay the way God created it. Yes, they have beneficial things. This can help a lot of people, especially those who are starving around the world because there are a lot of people around right now. There are also harmful things that can cause death and honestly, I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone just because of food. But if it was up to me, I would get everything back to normal and get people eating real food. GMOs have many important elements for our country, but people are not looking for them..
