List the reasons you would or would not be concerned about eating genetically modified food?
Reasons I would be concerned about eating GMO foods:
- The FDA declaring them to be "substantially equivalent" to non-GMO foods amid controversy that adequate scientific testing had not been done.
- Michael Taylor being in the FDA when "substantial equivalence" was declared. Michael Taylor was a Monsanto employee before taking the position at the FDA.
- The technology itself of taking a gene from one species and inserting it into another species (horizontal breeding). While that may be perfectly harmless it is new technology that many believe has not been proven to be safe.
- Greater amounts of pesticides being used on GMO crops, which means more pesticides may be getting in our foods.
- Crops that are engineered to produce an insecticide in the plant itself possibly having harmful health effects on us. There is some evidence that this may be happening.

What can happen if you eat food that's not been genetically modified?
death. Nothing, food that hasn't been genetically modified is natural food. The kind of food people have been eating for thousands of years. Something is more likely to happen to you if you eat genetically modified food.
Why are people so concerned about genetically modified food?
People are concerned about this because genetically modified food is not natural food. It was genetically modified by a human or a machine. In either case, man made machine, and man isn't perfect. So, because of that, people are so concerned.
Is eating genetically modified food gambling with your health in every bite?
not completely but it could do damage that fresh food wouldn't do as long as all the food you eat isn't genetically modified you'll be fine hope to have helped
The bulk of genetically modified organisms used in agriculture are called what?
These are usually called GMOs. An organism that is produced through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO).Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982 and genetically modified food has been sold since 1994. Genetic engineering is also called genetic modification.While there is a worry among the public that eating genetically modified food may be harmful but scientific agreement is that these crops are no greater risk to human health than conventional food.
Does Genetically modified food help strike hunger?
in some ways yes but not if your used to eating normal everyday food in life
Is it acceptable to genetically modify animals in order to produce enough cheap meat to feed the growing population?
There are certainly those who believe that it is immoral to eat animals, but even if that were true, there does not seem to be any reason why it would be more offensive to eat genetically modified animals than it is to eat the animals that we already have (which are also highly modified by millennia of selective breeding, from their original state in the wild). I can think of a number of reasons why the world's growing population should eat a vegetarian diet rather than eating animals, genetically modified or not. However, I would not say that genetic modification is unacceptable. I will accept it.
During the pas decade have the US been eating many genetic modified foods?
Probably. Because genetically modified foods (GMO) are not required to be labeled as such, it is difficult to know for certain. But it is very likely that food staples produced by huge corporations such as Monsanto or Cargil are genetically modified. I suspect most of the corn, soybeans and wheat produced in the U.S. are GMO.
Are bannapples real?
Yes but they are GM Foods (Genetically Modified Foods) which could have any kind of new disease so if you find one, I wouldn't recommend eating it.
Why do people eat less meat fish and dairy?
People have different reasons for eating less meat, fish, and dairy. Some of those reasons are:the belief that eating animals and animal products is cruel to animalsthe way animals are raised (factory farms, overuse of hormones and antibiotics, use of genetically modified transgenic hormones)the belief that a plant-based diet is healthierthe cost of meat rising
Reasons you would or would not be concerned about eating genetically modified food?
I would: I would be concerd about eating genetically modified food because you would get energy I wouldn't: I would now be concerd eating generally modified food because you would get virus in your body
Can genetically modified food cause mutations?
There are some who say they don't and that science proves it, but others claim there is evidence that GMO foods cause health problems, though not necessarily mutations, to humans.
