There is considerable controversy over the use of GMOs (genetically-modified organisms) in our food supply today. The majority of some crops in the U.S., such as corn and soy, are produced through GMO technology. And without labeling laws, consumers have a hard time knowing if what they are eating is GMO-produced.
There are pros and cons to using GMOs in agriculture. Inform yourself of both sides of the issue by reading this New York Times article using this link (Links to an external site.) or viewing the PDF: ProQuestDocuments-2021-12-11.pdf
and watching this video (11 minutes). (Note: for the NYT article you will need to subscribe but it only takes a second and is FREE).
Why are GMOs Bad? (Links to an external site.)
Then, answer the following questions. Be sure to substantiate your opinion with research if it is not in the above sources.
After reading the article and watching the video, do you still have concerns over GMOs? Why or why not?
What do you think is the biggest advantage of using GMOs in food production? Use a reference from one of the resources to substantiate your position.
Do you think labeling of GMO-produced foods is important? Why or why not?
Based on what you have learned, have you changed your mind about the safety of GMOs? Would you be more likely to buy them for you and your family?
and then I will provid two replies from students and I will need replies for them please
