GMOs-Genetically Modified Organisms
The Negative and Potential Threats
Could Be Dangerous and Unsafe
There is not very much known about the risks from genetically modifying organisms. This is still a fairly new concept and it could become a threat to the environment and to our health. Why would you take part in something dangerous when the risks could be more trouble than they're worth?
Risks Human Health
Humans aren't supposed to be eating genetically modified food. The food gives threats to our health and could cause problems that we can't fix.
Is Not Natural
It is not natural for fruits, vegetable, and especially animals to be genetically modified. This could be harmful to the environment because we are tampering with nature and organisms genetics without knowing the longterm consequences.
Decreases Small Farms
The small farms are not likely able to genetically modify their crops, or even want too. This means that their harvests aren't likely going to be as big or quickly produced, which will put the small farms out of business.
Lack of Consumer Consent
Many people eat genetically modified food without even knowing! As much as 70 percent of food prepackaged in a normal grocery store contains genetically modified food. If people were aware of the negative effects eating this type of food has on their health, GMOs wouldn't be as successful.
