bytestyle.tv Recent polls across the world have consistently shown that, if they had a choice, 90% of people would actively seek to avoid GMOs (genetically modified organisms) in their food. Unfortunately, GMOs are taking over our farmland so quickly, it is virtually impossible to avoid eating GM foods… unless you know what to look for… SEE THE FULL LIST & TAKE ACTION HERE: bytestyle.tv * * * * * This alert was made possible by my awesome sponsors.

Video from an English project. *What are Gm Foods: GM stands for Genetically Modified . Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be defined as organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally. It allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another, also between non-related species. *Why are foods genetically modified? Genetic engineering offers a rapid and precise method of altering organisms as compared to traditional methods that are slow and inaccurate. *Pros: Increased Agricultural Yield and Efficiency- As genetically modified crops increase productivity on the farm, it may lead to decreased food costs for consumers Pest Resistance- Some varieties of genetically modified crops produce their own pesticides that may reduce pesticide application in the fields. Herbicide Tolerance- There is evidence that herbicide-tolerant genetically modified plants may result in reduced soil erosion and herbicide application. Nutrition Benefits- Food can be modified so that they have greater nutritional benefits, which may be of great use in countries where there are significant food shortages. Medical Benefits- Scientists are conducting research on using genetically modified crops to cheaply and effectively produce human medicines. *Cons: Ecological Effects- Potentially, increases of genetically modified crops may negatively affect the environment. For example, genes for herbicide resistance could …
