Claim Could harm the environment
Evidence/quote It is intended to produce a fortified food to be grown and consumed in areas with a shortage of dietary vitamin A, a deficiency which each year is estimated to kill 670,000 children under the age of 5[3] and cause an additional 500,000 cases of irreversible childhood blindness.
Evidence/quote The majority of GM crops are those which have been engineered to be herbicide resistant. ‘Roundup ready’ soya, produced by Monsanto, is grown extensively in North and South America. It allows farmers to spray with a toxic cocktail of glyphosate and other chemicals. This may not harm the crop – but it does create residues and run off, making it disastrous for surrounding ecosystems.
Counterclaim: What if the food harms the people rather than helping them?
Counterclaim: Is there a way to do the same thing without the chemicals?
PIZZA IS DISGUSTING
I think if there was a way to manage the crop without spraying it wit pesticide, there would be.
How would it harm them? As far as I know there isn't any harmful chemcals involved.
