Genetically Modified Food

Genetically modified food is so cheap because the processes used in growing it is supposedly "faster, better, and cheaper." Most soybeans, which are in most of the foods we consume, are genetically modified and nobody really knows. Companies just want to grow more for cheap then sell more at a cheap price.

Some of the GM, or genetically modified, foods include crops, meats, and dairy. Cows are normally fed a GM diet to enhance the meat or dairy and many of the time the fertilzer in crops such as corn and tomatoes are genetically modified as well.

No, GMO foods are not cheaper than conventional foods.

The number of people who do not want GMO food is not known. What is known is that a large percentage of people want GMO foods in the United States to be labeled like they are in England. They want to be able to make an informed choice about the food they eat, and many do not want to eat GMO foods at all, but labeling GMO foods has come against opposition from biotech and food companies.

There is only one known variety of rice that has been genetically modified. That is Golden Rice. Unless Riviana Foods has Golden Rice, the rice itself in their products would not be GMO.

People have been modifing food for thousand of years when putting animals that give alot of food with animals that dont and having kids that give more food. No one really invented GM food, many people did bu after discovery of DNA in 1953 GM foods where created more prefesionaly

An apple called Arctic Apple has been genetically modified to be non-browning.

Rice is being genetically engineered to produce vitamin A in the rice. It is called Golden Rice because it is yellow in color, and the reason for engineering it is said to be to provide more vitamin A for people who are deficient in that vitamin in countries where a lot of rice is eaten.

Yes, GMO foods have to be labeled in the UK.

GM (genetic modification)

GMO or genetically modified organisms are made by changing genetic sequence of an organism. Usually, it means adding genes that an organism doesn't have naturally, which helps, for example, their immune system, makes them more resistant to bad conditions etc. So, I think it is ok to say that additional genes are put inside gmo food.

GM foods was put on shelves in the early 1900's but was sold in 1996

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."

People have different opinions about eating GMO foods. Some do not seem to be concerned about eating them, while others prefer to avoid them. It doesn't appear that anyone seeks them out so they can eat them. Personally, I do not like to eat GMO foods simply because there are still too many uncertainties about them, and there is at least some anecdotal evidence that they cause harm to people's health. Also, the science used to show they are safe is heavily influenced by the very corporations that create the GMOs.

They most certainly do! Neither GMO nor cloned foods have been thoroughly researched to know what effect they will have on the enviroment, animals, and humans. However, if the information I am reading is correct, and I believe it is, if you are purchasing your groceries from a regular supermarket or grocery you are already buying "genfoods"(foods with GMO ingredients in them) and have been for several years. I think that might be the reason the FDA won't address the issue of labeling for GMOs. If the list I have is correct, there wouldn't be any processed foods, as well as some produce, meat, and dairy products, that would not have to have their GMO ingredients listed. On the other hand, if that is right, why list them? Just assume they all contain GMOs and start buying groceries at a health food store. Okay, so it might be more expensive, but it's either that or be Monsanto's (and other companies) guinea pigs.

Since GMO ingredients are not labeled, it is difficult to know if the canola oil in Cape Cod potato chips is GMO. It is safe to assume the oil is GMO since most of the canola grown in the United States and Canada is GMO.

Choosing GMO food in the United States is not difficulat at all, At least 70% of the processed foods sold in grocery stores contain GMO ingredients, and a large amount of the meat is grown using hormones developed through genetic engineering. To choose GMO foods, all one has to do is buy food that is not labeled "100% organic" in any grocery store. The exception to that would be to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, though some, such as sweet corn, sugar beets, papayas, and crookneck squash may be genetically modified, and other fruits and vegetables may be genetically modified in the future.

No, GMO foods do not grow faster.

When organic crops are pollinated with GMO crops, the GMO gene can become a part of the organic crop, so the organic seed for the following year contains the GMO. Technically, since organic crops are not supposed to have GMOs in them, this contaminates the organic crops.

because. well i dont know

the main export market for Israel is Europe which does not approve of GM crops so the answer is: no, there are no commercially grown GM crops in Israel. however Israel it self is not against GM.

Companies are concerned that if GMO foods are labeled, consumers would not buy them. Since 70% of all processed foods sold in grocery stores contain GMOs (is probably higher today), that is a large amount of profits that could be lost.

Science Diet dog food may or may not contain GMOs. If a particular type of Science Diet contains soy or corn in any form the likelihood that they are GMO is almost certain. Science Diet uses the word "natural" to describe their products, but in the food industry, it can mean almost anything. What it definitely does not mean is "GMO free" or "organic."

It is possibly healthier than sugar, but even if is, sugar is so unhealthy that even if GMO food is healthier than sugar, it could still be very unhealthy.
