Pros and Cons of
Genetically Modified Foods

What they Say About Pros and Cons of
Genetically Modified Foods
by James Wachai
This week, I did something out of the ordinary. I posted a question on
Yahoo Answer. The question read, "What are the dangers of
genetically modified foods
to humans, animals and the environment?" In a bid to shut out
politics-flavored contributions, which, unfortunately, have been the
hallmark of this debate, I caveated the question thus, "Don't answer
if you can't provide scientific evidence." The question has and
continues to generate quite impressive traction. Here are some
excerpts:
---
There are none! No one has ever died, or
even gotten sick as a result of GMOs and, personaly, I think your
question is slighlty loaded as there ARE benefits to GM crops. By
planting corn that is resitant to corn bore and corn rootworm, you
greatly decrease the need for pesticides. And I'm warning you... I'm
about to get on my soapbox....I hope the previous answerer got a good
grade on her paper in her humanities class, because if she takes a
crop science class she'll need to re-write it... It doesn't hold
water! I just did a quick search on both glyphosate and Round-up
(Monsanto's tradename for glyphosate) and both pose very little risk
to human health. In fact, in cases of intentional ingestion (suicide)
it is fatal only 10% of the time (as compared to 80% for paraquat) and
I'm just guessing, but I would assume if someone is trying to end
their life, they aren't going to dilute it down to the application
rate... so keep that in mind! Also.... why on earth would a farmer use
MORE of a product then is necessary? Farmers operate on a very small
profit margin, and making decisions like that won't keep them in
business very long! I will grant that today's crop plants don't have
much genetic diversity, but adding 1-3 genes in a GMO crop has no
effect in decreasing diversity. The are no different then any other
plant. Yet, I think, most importantly, consider the impact on rural
life! Most farmers have a job off the farm and the added flexibilty of
GM crops (having a greater time frame for application... ie-
glyphosate can be applied after the corn has emerged) allows people
who want to farm the ability to continue to do so! To continue to work
the land and raise their children the way they were raised. Please...
before determining something is horrible after listening to a special
interest group.... put yourself in somebody else's muddy boots.

a major research university... but here is a very long PDF with lots
of cited information on Round-Up Ready corn -http://www.monsanto.com/monsanto/content...

There are no known dangers of
genetically modified foods both to humans, animals and the
environment. In fact a report the World Health Organization (WHO)
released in June 2005 indicated that GM food can benefit human beings
and the environment
(http://www.scidev.net/news/index.cfm?fus...
Such other reputable organizations as the World Food Program and Food
and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have declared that GM food pose no
health risk to consumers. The following websites shed more light on
benefits of genetically modified foods:

GMO's lack genetic diversity, making
them more susceptible to parasitism and disease. The widespread use of
GMO's therefore could lead to huge die offs of crops if a bacteria or
parasite comes along that can kill this GMO. GMO's also tend to be
highly competitve, and if they expand beyond human control, they can
lead to the extinction of plants and animals native to the local
environment - Stoweknows

Everything is taken on a case by case
basis. The goal is to be sure that one doesn't ingest something that
is toxic or has unbalanced/ compromised nutrition. There is a huge
fear factor because this is so knew but it seems to be a fear
generated by the uneducated vocal minority. It seems an unbased fear.
When you get hungry and we have ruined what agriculture is left, you
will eat the blue apples and like them - Mike4536

There is no dangers to genetically
modified (GM) foods presently, but the long term effects are still
unknown. (you will need a pool of people to eat GM foods continuously
for a long time before you can come out with the stats.)By doing
genetic modification to the food source, farmers are actually
introducing better genes into the DNA, so that the food source, be it
plants or animals, are more resistant to disease, higher production,
and better quality.However, think about it. Farmers in the long past
also does selection planting, meaning to say, they select the best
seeds of a tree to make new plants for fruits, they mate the best cow
and bull to attempt to produce excellent offsprings. Isn't this
genetic modification in a way? - Loser

I just wrote a paper on this subject for
my World Hunger class. The long term dangers are unknown. In the US,
these food items aren't labeled, so there is no way of tracking
problems. If people don't know they are eating modified soybeans, how
can they blame their health problems on the soybeans, right? And as
far as the environment is concerned, genetically modified alfalfa,
called Roundup Ready Alfalfa allows the farmer to spray Roundup right
next to or in his field with out the crop being damaged. Well this
allows them to use as much Roundup as they want to use. Roundup is
very dangerous and should be used in limited amounts, if it is used at
all. And now they get t use as much as they want to? That's awful for
the environment.ope this helps you understand the GMO (genetically
modified organism) that are everywhere around us better - Beatrice.

The Secret of Making Money in the
Stock Market |
Have you ever wondered why some people seem to know
the secret of making money in the stock market? They are no
smarter than you. They do not work any harder and neither are they
lucky than you. But, unlike you, they never seem to worry about
having money. You see most people miss the big idea here. They
think it takes a lot of money to make a lot of money. But that is
not how it is done. The idea is to make pennies consistently and
to use them to build vast personal fortunes. The stock market is a
proven wealth builder and can and should benefit all participants.
It is only right that everyone should be entitled to a piece of
the action.
