Genetic Engeneering of Food

r as a resistance from other invasion. The gene traits antibodies are grown in a petri dish, and a marker gene is inserted with the desired trait in order to aid the plant in helping it accept the foreign gene. The main concern of using antibodies in so many different species is a fear that either the invading insects will gain resistance to the insecticide. Another major concern is that antibiotics will no longer aid in recovery to sickness. In the future antibiotics may be found in every fruit and vegetable we consume. The main concern of antibiotics not having effects in humans is in the case that an individual is taking antibiotics and in the stomach the antibiotic from the food product and the prescription form will mix, rendering one of the antibiotics useless. The only way to avoid the health risks of genetically modified foods is not to consume them. Without buying organic produce, there is no way for the consumer to make a judgment on whether or not what they are eating has been genetically modified. Lapp and Bailey (1998) reproduce the side of the government when stating In the FDAs view, since no significant difference exists between those transgenic and normally cultivated foods, no special notification is needed. Such a lack of discrimination invites the public to consider genetically altered foods as safe as non-altered products (p.77). Foods do not need to contain the elements genetic modification has added to fruits and vegetables. The only way to avoid this forthcoming future is for consumers to take a stand and deny foods containing, viruses, bacteria, antibodies and insecticides that do not need to be in the foods. The solution I propose is to create ecological gardens with a web of animal life to create much healthier plants that dont carry risks to your personal health. Organic farming is the solution I propose this form of farming uses all-natural supplements which make the consumer happy to be eating ...
