Concerns :warning:
No Labels :forbidden:
Some people might be anti GMO or allergic to some GMO ingredients and sometimes don't even have a choice of choosing a GMO product because there is no labels. A quote to support this is ¨Without labels on foods that are genetically modified, people are unable to make the eating choices they wish to make. There is no knowledge about whether the foods are GMO or not¨ (Genetically Modified Food Pros and Cons List)
Another quote to support this is "Sixty-four countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, require genetically modified foods to be labeled. Canada does not require any GMO labeling" (GMO Facts).

Benefits :+1:
-
Tastier, healthier, and easier to grow 😃
A benefit about GMOs could be that they are easier to grow, faster, and increase the number of crops getting grown, which really helps the more poor countries. A quote to support this is ¨One of the major advantages of GMOs is that they help increase the production rate of crops, which can have a significant impact in countries faced with food shortages and famine¨ (Pros & Cons of GMO Foods).
Nutrients 🌽
More GMOs that give you more nutrients than the original are the purple tomatoes, golden rice,
The purple tomatoes have the same compounds that are present in blueberries and cranberries that give them their health benefits.
There is many GMOs that give you more nutrients than the original product, an example is the Golden Rice that helps you fight vitamin A deficiencies. A quote to support this is ¨One of the main goals in producing GMOs is to create foods that are packed with more nutrients than before. In 2000, for example, scientists developed a crop called Golden Rice that was created specifically to help fight vitamin A deficiencies¨ (Pros & Cons of GMO Foods).
-
CLAIM: A benefit of some GMOs can be that they can help nourish people that don't have much food or getting enough vitamins.
EVIDENCE:"Genetically modified microorganisms are used to create some of our most essential vitamins. Examples of vitamins created through genetic modification are vitamin A, vitamin B-2, vitamin B-12 (riboflavin), vitamin C (ascorbic acid), and vitamin D"(GMOs and Nutrition)
COUNTERCLAIM (Laura S.): What are some of the crops or foods that have more nutrients and vitamins in them that are GMOs?
-
CLAIM:A concern of GMOs can be is that GMOs are getting people sick or making people have allergic reactions.
EVIDENCE: "So maybe you weren’t allergic to one kind of tomato before, but after new proteins are added, you may experience a reaction" (Pros & Cons of GMO Foods).
