The use of GMOs is inevitable due to the growing population in the United States, but should we be using them?
There have been no studies done to determine the effects that GMOs have on human health. Many consumers are concerned with the ingredients in the products that they are consuming. This concern has led to a rise in consumers purchasing organic foods. The manipulation of the genetic makeup of food has become so common that packaging now indicates whether or not it has been gentically modified. I feel that since this has grown so common in America, studies should be done in order to determine whether or not it is safe to keep consuming. Although the use of this genetically modified food allows more to be produced and allows it to be grown in many different climates, is it safe to keep consuming?
I really love learning about how the food we eat influences our health, and GMOs are something I never really looked into. The American diet seems to be full of processed foods and sugar, which I think should be our main concern. I believe that eating genetically modified fruits and vegetables are overall okay. They still contain the vitamins and minerals which are body needs to have optimal health. What we should be worried about is foods full of processed sugars such as corn syrup- that can cause cause seriously concerning if consumed regularly.
ReplyDeleteI also think that it is very important for Americans to be aware of the ingredients that are in the food we are consuming. Our own personal health is something that everyone should be concerned about and everyone has the right to know what they are buying and eating. I also agree that there should be more studies done on GMO's and the effects that they have on human heath because of how much they are growing and how common the use of GMOs is becoming in American society today.
ReplyDeleteI dont know entirely the facts on whether gmos are save or not or more healthy of not but i do know they have created more food than recently possible. They have also made recent foods that are inedible more palatable for people like bananas and grapes. I once bought a bag of grapes that had seeds in them and that was a very bad experience and i can say im glad they got rid of seeds in grapes.But in respect to whether its healthy or not im not sure but i do know i dont have any illnesses or sicknesses or feel less healthy because of gmos so as of right now id say they are safe to consume.
