What is the reason for using GMO’s? There are many reasons that we use GMOs in our daily life. One of the reasons is to make foods more nutritious. They can do it by using Biotechnology to make food more nutritious for livestock and animals. For example they have made a tomato that can produce higher levels higher levels of anthocyanins that has been shown to fight off a wide variety of human disease. GMO made products are also able to have a longer life. Which means the expiration date could be longer and the products can last longer. Not only do GMOs make food more nutritious but also help to reduce the use of pesticides on crops. How this is done is by making the crop’s genes resistant to all sorts of bugs and pesticides.
Thanks to a recent study GMOs are among the most tested products in the U.S. Researchers say that GMO crops are just as safe as crop plants that were modified by using techniques that are conventional. Over the 20 years that GMO products have been consumed by humans there has not been any major health issues. The products have help to make healthier and tastier meals. Studies have also found that GMO crops can be among the best to survive and change to global warming. With many people thinking that global warming is a huge issue more people may start to think that GMOs are safe because they will be able to adapt to it. So not only are there many reasons to use GMOs but there are also many companies out there investing millions of dollars into research of GMO. For example Monsanto is investing millions of dollars every day into research. Monsanto is investing so much money for the sake of small rural farmers that are really that big. They will help these rural farmers be able to not only put enough food on the table for their families but also be able to make a living. With the growing world population not only will GMO crops help rural farmers survive but also help feed the world one meal at a time. Everyday people move about there lives do their daily tasks, and throughout that day there is one things that everybody usually does three times. That is eat. Now if it wasn’t for farmers there would not be any food to eat. So with the help of GMO crop there is able to be more food for everyone in the world to eat. Even though people may say that GMOs are not safe to eat, in all reality they are pretty safe. They are among the most tested products in the us, and the FDA deems them safe to eat. That is why we eat them in our everyday life. People can think what they want but when it comes to the facts they lead towards GMOs being safe. So that’s why through this blog I will be trying to convinces people to believe that GMO’s are safe. http://monsantoblog.com/2009/05/04/improving-farmers-lives/ http://inside.battelle.org/health/five-good-reasons-to-support-gmos
