Anti GMO

For our unit 3 called Evolving in the Food course we studied plant genetics and genetic engineering. For plants genetics we used Gregor's Mendel (the father of genetics) method of the punnett squares to know the probability of the traits that the offspring will receive from the parents. For genetic engineering we talked about GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) crops, and finding out that the reason why farmers produce food all year even in winter was because the modify the foods genes by adding another organisms gene onto it. After studying GMO our last project was to have a debate on pro GMO and anti-GMO. I chose to argue against GMO so that makes me an anti-GMO, the reason why I chose anti-GMO because because GMO is not natural organism produced from nature and nature process on growing organic food. It also mixes everything and creates bigger problems like or health especially kids. GMO creates new allergies that kids get for the use of different chemicals on our food. If we didn't use GMO than we wouldn't have health problems and the food would have its natural value than none of this would happen. During this project I learned what GMO's are and how they work. I am proud of the debate
