 Every day from the moment you wake up and to the moment to bed, one things you never

miss is the food on your plate. Foods are very important in that it’s the basic component of our life. However, what if the foods are all artificially cultivated? Do you still want to eat it? This new type of modified foods is called genetically modified organism (GMO). So let go and find out what is GMO.      

 Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. This technology is not limited with food it also included with field of many scientific researches such as animal cloning and medical purposes. However in our article lets focuse on the modified foods

The regular foods are cultivated in a way of using conventional methods such as selective / natural breeding and mutation breeding.   These methods have been used for thousands of years by our ancestors. However, after human was able to modifying DNA cells everything we understand about organism -such as foods- was changed.

Plants are now can be engineered for insect resistance, fungal resistance, viral resistance, herbicide resistance, changed nutritional content, improved taste, and improved storage. In other word altering the laboratory for desired qualities is the key concepts in GMOs food.

Watermelon without seeds is a good example of how modified food is work.

And this is the lists of GMO products.

This video explain how is GMO work specifically 

First commercial sale of genetically modified foods began in 1994. It was not so long ago since the GMO food was served on our table. Nevertheless, its influence was enormous.    

Monsanto was among the first commercial company to genetically modify a plant cell, it remained one of the top ten U.S crop company and now the largest biotechnology company in the world. The company owns the 25%of the world seeds.

Since GMO technology is a very newly adapted in our society. Therefore there are intense contrast opinions about GMO.

                                                           <GMO’s pros>

1: It’s very productive

-       GMO technology able framers to grow crops with higher yield, with less fertilizer, less risk of pesticides, and more nutrients.

2: GMO is fast and efficient

-       Traditional breeding take longer time because it take several generations to effectively bring out the offspring before they can bred. However, with GMO technology, the desired type “genotype’ can be created instantly

3: can help shortage of food

-       By using GMO food can endure any weather and temperature. Thus places such as Africa can solve the problem in famine

4: GMO is not poison

-       GMOs have been on the market since 1994, so far there is not a single reported case of health threat

                                                          <GMO CONS>

1: GMO is unhealthy

-       Studies have found that GMO cause dangerous poison to the rats. And also in other animal testing have conducted causing serious kidney and liver problem. 

-        trigger allergic reactions in people who are either allergic to one of the components of the GMO or in people who are allergic only to the new substance

-       According to lowa state university Some GMO foods have had antibiotic features added to them so they are resistant to certain diseases and viruses. When humans eat them, these antibiotics features persist in our bodies and make actual antibiotic medications less effective,

2: GMO is unpredictable

-       GMOs transfer genes in very unpredictable ways. Scientist transferring genes not only in same species but in hole other kingdom. This transformation can produce genes that never exist in a nature.

MY Expression.

So should we be eating GMOs food? I think people react more seriously when it comes to biotechnology because some people consider changing something inside the cells is unnatural, and it is beyond our human power. But I think that kind of thinking is so wrong 

                     

Since genetic modification is a field of area which is made not so long ago people
might felt different in kind, but its technology purposes were actually revolutional
in agriculture.

In the old days framers were always worried about the pest, temperatures and many other things that can destroy crops. However, by using GMO technology all these problems were solved. Besides, human population is immensely increasing in number in order to supplying its demand GMOS technology is very necessary.

 Yet it is true that GMOs technology have unpredictable effects on both plants and human. But technology is keep going to be develop, even today scientist and researcher is keep working on to eliminate its problems. Besides since the introduction of the GMOs technology there was not a single reported that people suffer from GMOs foods.

This video is form TV show featuring how less information people know about GMO (very funny)

Just like this video is saying people only saying GMO is bad because they heard
people say it is bad, and they could not speak more about the detail and the
facts of its issues. Thus I think people made GMOs food issue little
exaggerated

Therefore my recommendation would be feel free to eat it
