Are oats genetically altered as well as wgeat?

There is no genetically modified, or altered, wheat on the market as of March 2013. That is not to say that it won't happen in the future. Oats are also not genetically modified. Most baking ingredients are not genetically modified. Look for 100% wheat products to be sure. There are also lists of products and companies that do, and do not, use GMOs in their food.

Should people continue to use genetically modified foods?

This is not an easily answerable question. Genetically modified foods are more common than one thinks. Some genetic manipulation is essential to enable different food harvests to grow where they normally do not thrive. They can also help save a particular plant life from effects of a blight. Some genetic manipulation is done to provide more growth, or higher food output by the source (i.e. milk cows, or giving chickens growth hormones to make them larger). By and large, in order to answer this question requires a little homework on the part of the consumer. Find out if the food products you consume are genetically altered, then research that alteration to see how it was altered and what, if any, effect it has on the consumer as well as the quality of life for the consumed.

How do Schneider and Schneider define genetically modified foods?

They explain what a genetically modified food is this way: "A genetically modified (GM) food or genetically modified organism (GMO) results from the use of recombinant DNA biotechnological procedures that allow the genetic makeup of a food or organism to be altered in some way. This 'recombination' can be accomplished by moving genes from one organism to another or by changing genes in an organism that are already present. These changes result in the expression of attributes not found in the original organism."

Where are genetically modified organisms currently in use?

They are grown all across the USA and Canada and in many other parts of the world. At least 70% of processed foods in the grocery stores in the U.S. have GMO ingredients. Much of the meat in the U.S. has been grown using hormones that are genetically modified. Dairy cows are often given genetically modified hormones in the U.S. Some pharmaceutical drugs are made using genetic modification.


What is genetic modified foods?

Genetically modified food can also be achieved by altering their DNA (or genes) by genetic engineering techniques. This usually involves inserting a gene into the organisms' DNA to create a certain trait. For example, some corn crops have been genetically modified so that they become more resistant to herbicides and insect pests. In most countries Genetically Modified foods (GM) as well as foods containing GM source foods have to be labelled by law, giving consumers the choice to use them or not. Agriculturally speaking the opposite of GM foods are "Organic" crops.


What is the Canadian government's action on genetically modified food?

Canada has been one of the four countries that were most known for commercial production of genetically modified canola, cotton, maize and soybeans. The other three countries have been Argentina, China, and the United States. The government approves use within Canada of all genetically modified products that are like real food, and that aren't dangerous if consumed. But the government won't approve labels that differentiate, for the customer, between food that's gmo-free and food that's not.
