Research the issue of genetically modified foods, and then write an essay to be read by your peers in which you argue either for

or against their use. Support your position with evidence.
Genetically modified foods are crops that farmers have modified by taking more desirable traits and putting them into one. This leaves crops being more tolerant to things such as insects, droughts, and disease. Many people believe that modified foods are unhealthy and bad for your body, but after doing research it is simple to see that genetically modified foods were made to help us. They are thoroughly tested for allergies before being put on the market and can even be used to make foods more nutritious.

The testing process for GMOs (genetically modified organisms) is tough, it can take up to 7-10 years in the United States. Not only is the health and safety tested for humans but wildlife and the environment as well. According to Insidebattelle.org “Part of the testing includes nutritional analysis and protein analysis and characterization. In these studies, researches look at the proteins and peptides expressed in the bioengineered organism compared to the original. This allows researchers to identify any new proteins created by the GM crop that could produce an allergic reaction or other adverse effect. Battelle helps companies conduct many of the required studies, including allergen testing for GMO products.”

By testing our crops this thoroughly we also gain the opportunity to make our crops healthier. This is achieved by adding more vitamins during the growing process. For example, according to insidebattelle.org “Researchers are using biotechnology to make genetically modified foods that provide real benefits to humans and livestock. For example...This tomato was engineered to produce higher levels of nutrients called anthocyanins, which have been shown to be protective against a wide variety of human diseases. The Golden Rice Project seeks to bring vitamin-A enriched rice to market to help prevent nearly 500,000 cases of childhood blindness and 2 million deaths caused by a vitamin-A deficiency in third world countries each year.”

In conclusion, genetically modified foods have greatly improved our crop businesses because of the intense allergy and environmental safety testing along with adding healthier alternatives. GMOs help the environment and people’s health, therefore, have created a positive impact on the world.
