    Sacha Padilla Discussion 2.

    1 EN3220

    My topic for my project is “Are there risks with genetically engineered foods? IMy

    parents raised me to eat healthy and to read labels and concern myself with what I put

    into my system. I was raised pesticides were bad and the hormones in milk and meat

    have sped up puberty. Since then, I have tried educating myself in what we ingest and

    more importantly what my son ingests. I cant raise him in a bubble, but I can minimize

    the amount of garbage he intakes by feeding him well at home.

    According to the US National Library of Medicine GMO is a concern of safety as well as

    affect several organs and systems. However, results of most studies hepatic,

    pancreatic, renal, or reproductive effects are contradictory. I found just as many studies

    from around the world with no effects of GMOs athat I did from studies showeing GMO’s

    did effect the aforementioned things.

    my next site is .org states GMOS can create allergies, toxins, new diseases and

    nutritional problems. On the flip side when GMOS are eliminated people experience

    more energy, weight loss, better digestion, reduced allergies and skin conditions. This

    also can go for the animals too. Avoid Eating Genetically Engineered Foods. (n.d.).

    Health Risks.

    The definition of bias -an inclination of temperament or outlook to present or hold a

    partial perspective, often accompanied by a refusal to consider the possible merits of

    alternative points of view.

    Mr. Jeffrey Smith of http://responsibletechnology.org/ is an example of bias view.

    Banning genetically engineered foods “Before the Appleton Wisconsin high school

    replaced their cafeteria’s processed foods with wholesome, nutritious food, the school

    was described as out-of-control. There were weapons violations, student disruptions,

    and a cop on duty full-time.”
