Harvest of Fear

1. GM stands for genetically modified crop and it is a crop that in has been genetically modified in anyway.


2a. GM crops can also help farmers financially because of the GM crops resistance to pesticides.

2b. GM crops can give out many health benefits like that they last longer, and genetically modified crops have less sugar and oil then the original crops.



3a. GM foods are not tested as much because so much is being produced at such a fast rate, so some problems may be found in the food without anyone knowing.

3b. GM crops can harm the environment. Many scientists believe that the GM revolution is uncontrolable and can have a bad result



4. 3 tries.



5a. First is fries. Bioengineers are working to make better cooking oils for healthier fried foods with less saturated fat.

5b. Second is coffee. Companies are looking at engineering coffee beans so that there is less caffeine.


Do you think food should be labeled if it has been genetically modified?

I think genetically modified foods should be labeled. People have the right to know. If they want natural foods they should be able to stay away from genetically modified foods. Also, if people are scared that the GM food will have problems with it they dont have to eat it.
