There can be a risk of toxicity

GMOs can have a negative impact on the environment

CLAIM: GMOs have made an impact to our people because not everyone gets the chance to built big crops like us people.

CLAIM: The lack of labeling foods that contain GMOs because, not everyone can eat GMO foods they could be harmed by them. Not everyone knows what foods have GMOs and what dont. This can confuse many people.

Evidence: For example kids with servier allergies to GMO foods can eat a GMO food if not known whats in it. GMOs have a risk that it can be toxic to certain people.

Evidence: Many in Africa dont get to eat much food because it gets eaten by insets that cannot be controlled. And 500,000 children go blind from lack of vitamin A.

COUNTERCLAIM (Aileen Reyes): What if they make a certain GMO for that.

COUNTERCLAIM (Aileen Reyes): They can make some with more Vitamin A.

COUNTERARGUMENT: They could but I doubt it would work perfectly for some people.
