ANALYSIS
1. Will any harm outweigh any advantage on GMO’s?
2. How useful GMO’s are?
ABSTRACTION
• Genetically Modified Organism – genome has
been engineered in the laboratory in order to
favour the expression of desired physiological
traits or the generation of desired biological
products.
• Help protect crops by providing resistance to a
specific disease or insect, ensuring greater food
production.
Are GMO’s safe?
• in the absence of credible independent long-term feeding studies,
the safety of GMO’s is unknown.
Are GMO’s labeled
• 64 countries around the world including Australia, Japan, and all of
the countries in the European Union, require genetically modified
foods to be labeled.
Which foods might contain GMO’s?
• most packaged foods contain ingredients derived from corn, soy,
canola, and sugar beet and the vast majority of those crops grown
• animal products: eggs, milk, meat, honey , seafood
• processed inputs: hydrolyzed vegetable protein corn syrup, molasses,
sucrose, textured vegetable protein, flavorings, vitamins, yeast
products, microbes & enzymes, flavors, oils & fats, proteins, and
sweeteners.
How do GMO’s affect farmers?
• genetically modified crops therefore pose a serious threat to farmer
sovereignty and to the national food security of any country where
they are grown.
What are the impacts of GMO’s on the
environment?
• the use of toxic herbicides has increased fifteenfold
• Responsible for the emergence of superweeds and superbugs which
can only be killed with ever more toxic poisons
• once released into the environment, these novel organisms cannot
be recalled
