Should We Grow GM Crops?
- What if you knew that detractors fear that GM foods might pose health risks for certain people?
GM foods could introduce a new allergen. Many other critics think that allergies are more likely with traditionally bred crops as genes can be introduced from unrelated species.
- What if you knew that proponents assert that GM foods will promise many health benefits?
The GM foods are more safe to be eaten treating the worlds bad nutrition with a rich one.
- What if you knew that many feel GM crop technology will hurt small farmers?
The small farmers are indentured to big firms due to patenting genetically altered crops. The Crops are too expensive for the small farmers making the rich and poor gap larger.
- What if you knew that GM patrons insist that farmers will reap great benefits from biotechnology?
Pests make crop losses every year. GM proponents can avoid the losses as the GMOs are naturally resistant to pests and other external hazards
- What if you knew that opponents fear that GM crops could harm the environment?
Monarch study was held in a lab and not in a field. Studies from the Department of Agriculture, and FDA have studies that are flawed.
- What if you knew that advocates maintain that GM technology will help the environment?
Crops can be modified to be male sterile so that pollen is not produced. GM plants can also have it so that the introduced gene of pollen is present
- What if you knew that many people feel genetically modifying organisms goes against Nature?
Phenotype changes are unnatural in nature. Many people think that GM tech is like playing God making it immoral
- What if you knew that scientists submit that genetically modifying plants is completely natural?
The plants are able to modify themselves anytime as it is based in evolution. We have created more diverse vegetables and crops.
- What if you knew that many critics inveigh against biotech companies for being profit-driven, with little concern for potential risks to people or nature?
The companies rush to secure patents and make profits without the thoughts of possible health hazards.
- What if you knew that companies that fashion GM seeds maintain that GM crops hold the greatest hope for adequately feeding our rapidly expanding world population?
GM Crops hold our hope to boost production of farming for the more people that is rapidly expanding our population.
- What if you knew that many critics assert that GM foods suffer from dangerously poor oversight and regulation?
The FDA has maintained that GM foods are relatively safe to regular foods. People argue however that sickness from unlabeled GM foods are hard to trace back to it's source.
- What if you knew that GM seed companies maintain that GM crops are the most thoroughly tested and highly regulated food plants out there?
The companies are legally required to make sure foods are met with safety standards. Three departments assess it's safety: EPA, FDA, and Department of Agriculture.
