GMOs
Angelina Hernandez
Claim - Benefit
GMOs are helpful because there is less money wasted on crops. This is because GMOs cause foods to become bigger and a larger quantity. With these abilities of GMOs the farmers will not have to spend nearly as much money on chemicals, and not as much time on growing the crops. With the farmers spending less time they wont get paid a HUGE amount and it will save our city more money to improve the place we live in.
EVIDENCE: "Of critical importance is that GMOs help keep food costs low; if GMOs did not exist, food prices would be dramatically higher in the U.S. and across the world. This is especially critical to low-income consumers who have limited amounts of money to spend on food" (Cheap food? Thank GMOs).
Counterclaim:(Jasmine Paramo) Because the price is so low, I argue that the quality/nutritional value of the food will also drop.
COUNTERARGUEMENT: I disagree because the prices drop because of the healthy GMOs , so technically the quality doesn't drop.
Claim - Concerns
GMOs can be harmful by not being labeled, because when they insert the GMOs into a different kind of food, such as banana genes going into corn can be dangerous because if people are allergic to banana's and they are eating corn they can get sicknesses be stuck in a hospital and such. This all happened because the corn was not being labeled.
EVIDENCE: "But while I endorse the public’s right to know and honest labeling of all products, in an important way it is very misleading. Farmers and agricultural scientists have been genetically engineering the foods we eat for centuries through breeding programs that result in large and largely uncontrolled exchanges of genetic material" (The debate persists over GMO foods).

BENEFITS :check:
May be more nutritious
People say that GMOs are more nutritious because they use less chemicals and cause less sicknesses and diseases.
EVIDENCE: “For example, engineers are able to create rice that has vitamin A and iron. The modified rice is more nutritious” (Should we support US...).

World Hunger
GMOs help world hunger because each fruit of vegetable that is grown is meant to grow a bit larger than its supposed to because of the injection of the GMOs which helps people get full easily.
Drought resistant
GMOs help resist droughts because they need less water than regular plants because of the nutrients that the GMOs give to the plant. The usage of water goes down and and less water is being wasted.

Less deaths of children
Rob Sike stated that 3.100.000 children died because of a pour food supply. He also stated that 0 children died because of GMOs which makes GMOs a
Concerns :forbidden:
-
Not labeled
With the problem of our country not being labeled it is very bad. This is a problem because of the different GMO genes being processed and put into other foods.
EVIDENCE: "But while I endorse the public’s right to know and honest labeling of all products, in an important way it is very misleading. Farmers and agricultural scientists have been genetically engineering the foods we eat for centuries through breeding programs that result in large and largely uncontrolled exchanges of genetic material" (Genetically Modified Foods).
