Do consumers have a right to know whether the food they are about to buy from a store contains genetically modified foods?
yes because then people would freak out in what were eating, and also they might have posioinous food
What else can I help you with?
Why should all genetically engineered foods be labeled?
All genetically modified should be labeled so consumers can make their own decision as to whether or not to purchase them.
Explain why you are for or against requiring labels indicating the use of genetically modified components in any food item?
Many people are for labeling genetically modified meats. With a label on the meat, many people are able to choose whether they want to purchase the meat or not.
What is transgenic technology?
Transgenic plants are plants in which DNA from another species has been introduced into the plant's genome.
Why is genetically modified food harmful?
It is not known conclusively whether GMO food is harmful. Many claim that science shows that it is safe and others claim that anecdotal evidence (non study) suggests it is not safe and could be harmful to the environment.
Are buttered noodles genetically modified?
It depends on whether the ingredients used to make the noodles were genetically engineered. At the current time (December 2013), there is no way to know for sure because GMO ingredients are not labeled as such on foods in the United States. The chances of the noodles having GMO ingredients is greatly reduced if the food is labeled 100% organic.
What percent of US corn is genetically modified?
First you must specify whether you mean GM foods that are modified by gene replacement in the lab or by selection and hybridization. Because of the stigma given GMO's by pseudo scientists there are very few directly grown, non processed GM foods. Almost all soybeans grown in the US are GMO and most of the corn and canola. Sweet corn, however, is not GM, but it's a hybrid. Growers must use herbicides to control weeds because there is no GM seed to do it.
Are genetically modified foods really safe to eat?
The safety of genetically modified foods is not known. Some say studies show it is safe, but there are also studies that show it may not be safe. There is anecdotal evidence, such as doctors recommending that their patients stop eating foods that are genetically engineered and their health improving.
Why might people want genetically engineered food to be labeled?
Consumers want to have the tools necessary to choose for themselves whether or not to buy and eat GMO foods. Labeling is the only thing that will show them what foods do and do not contain GMOs, or at least so they think. In reality, cross pollination of GMO crops with non-GMO crops has resulted in almost all food types that have been genetically modified (corn, soybeans, papayas, canola, possibly wheat, sugar beats, sweet corn, and others), even ones labeled Non-GMO by the Non-GMO Project and organically grown crops, having at least a small percentage of GMOs.
What effect does eating GMO food on your genes?
Some argue that genetically modified food has no effects on human or animal genes. They also argue that GMO foods are the same as any other foods and have no negative health effects at all. Others argue that they might cause changes to our genes, and that they do cause changes to the flora in our intestines, possible sterilization, and other health issues. The FDA has declared then to be "substantially equivalent" to non GMO foods.In reality, we just do not know what effects genetically modified food have on our health or our genes.
Why organic foods are better than conventinal foods?
Supposedly they are grown without chemicals or pesticides. There is also the issue of genetically modified foods, which no one even knows yet whether or not they are bad for you. There have been some studies on rats that were fed GMO food and ended up dead. Organic is non-GMO.
What type of consumers are amphibia?
Amphibians generally eat arthropods, such as insects and spiders. Some of their prey are primary consumers, and others are secondary consumers. Because they usually eat both kinds, it is hard to say whether they are secondary or third level consumers.
Are genetically modified foods useful?
yes,because food are one type of thing that we ea every day it makes our body healthy and because of food we live.food have disadvantages to us and advantages.
