For GMO’s
- with the use of them, farmers can better be stewards of the environment and grow more crops with less land
- they are able to keep and make more food, more people can be fed and food prices go down
- with the population increasing, they help increase crop production using less resources needed to tend to the population
- foods that re made with gmos have a better taste texture and nutritional value
- the gmo crop are made to be more resistant to weeds, pests, and disease, especially in corn
- less pesticides need to be used, therefore less harmful chemicals are put into the environment
- they are already in 80% of the food we are eating
- they allow farmers to be able to make crops on less land which is helpful to the increasing population
Counterargument:
- how about animals?
-diseases decrease in animals when the are genetically modifies
- no, they don’t solve the food crisis, but gross help
Against GMO’s
- people are not fine from gmos, people get several diseases and have to resort to eating certain products because gross harmed them
- laws are being made against gmos, the Kevin Law
- children are getting sick from them because they harvest allergies and cannot process certain foods
- farmers themselves are spending more money buying what it takes to create these gmos
- farming technology is not up to par yet
- gmos and non gmos do not coexists well
- farmers have actually increased their use of pesticides
- there is still a global food crisis even with the gmos
- gmos are toxic and are infecting the air and soil
- lower levels of biodiversity
- gmos are playing God, other countries look down at the US for altering nature
Counterargument:
- a lot of people don’t know anything about it and there are informational videos and documents that can inform people of this issue
- they have’t been that successful in genetically modifying foods and animals
- it is not much of an improvement, gmo science is failing in many instances
- farmers are not making enough money because of how much it costs to make modified crops
- we need more advanced technology that is not so harmful
