GMOs - Ethan H
Benefits
Saves money
Do not need to buy pesticides
Easier to grow
Helps world hunger.
Cheaper so more people can buy them.
Healthier
Plants can resist bugs and droughts and more can be grown.
Concerns
Not labeled
Can cause allergic reactions.
We don't know what is in them.
Some are labeled but the label has to be scanned with a phone.
Mistreated animals
Chickens
GMO featherless chickens.
Fish
Types of GM fish are much bigger than normal fish and might have bad things in them.
The fish's predators might eat less food and the fish will overpoulate
Claim: GMOs can grow bigger and be cheaper so they can feed more people.
Jack D
Yes these foods can be made in bulk and made cheaper, but my concern is of allergic reactions. We don't know what kind of GMOs are in these foods and what those GMOs contain.
Counter-claim:
Foods could be modified so people don't get allergic from them.
“The salmon is genetically engineered to grow faster, and the company therefore argues that the fish will help to feed a hungry world” (genetically modified salmon).
