The Let's Eat book tells me this. IT says that gardeners touch and breathe in a bacterium in soil called Mycobacterium vacce, "which stimulates the feel-good sensors in the brain".
AWESOME! And this is sooooo true! No wonder I am so happy gardening!

Two different texts are telling me that GM can cause allergies, cancer, and health problems.
And they both also say that GMOs can harm good insects. One is an insect many appreciates; monarch butterflies.

From two different texts (a book and a article) I am noticing that a lot of foods are genetically modified in some way. And there are actually a lot of good things that come out of it. It's not always bad. (that doesn't mean I choose that side, tho)

"Ethics means the moral principles that govern a person's behavior and make us decide what we think is right and what we think is wrong." (according to GMOs book)

here are some questions from the book:

"Would it be right to create GM humans capable of extraordinary speed or other abilities?"
"Do you think we should be told if our medicine is GM or not?"

Do you support any of the following: GM food, plants, livestock, pets, medicines, or humans?

"They are even exploring whether it would be possible to regrow limbs that have been lost in battle" by genetically modifying US human soldiers.

Dolly the sheep is a cloned sheep, if you didn't know.
Dolly was born after nearly 300 failed attempts.
Dolly lived about half the average lifespan for a sheep

Scientists have found a way to test women to see if they have breast cancer. If you do, you have the option to 'have surgery to minimizes chances of developing breast cancer' using GM.

1. Scientists have created fish that change color when in polluted water
2. Scientists have made mosquitoes that make less mosquitoes, but they ended up making more disease
3. Many modified animals "suffer horrible illnesses and health complications that lead to early death"

1. it is more natural
2. It has down falls. For example, Pugs are bred to have flat faces. Sadly, this has led them to having breathing problems

Some GM happened naturally, without the tinkering by humans. But still, almost all of GM is done by humans.

By genetically modifying some corn, people were able to have corn that repels bugs.
Sadly, their pollen can repel and kill butterflies and other living things.

Selective Breeding is when people breed the best animals and plants to get more meat and better harvests. OR to get better pets/pet breeds

GM stands for Genetically Modified (or modifying)

Some GM work has been done good for our world's development. (for a positive effect)
some is to "put living things to new uses, such as producing new medicines."
(from the Cutting-Edge Technology: GMOs book)
Another reason for GM is for plants to fight insects and disease, to insure bigger harvest, to be cheaper, and to reduce waste.

Genes come in pairs, one from the mother and one from the father.

A lot of the genetic science investigating was in the last 40 years, though some was in farther back; in the 1800s.

I'm starting to think that GMOs are not that great for you.
They don't seem natural, and so far, I don't know how safe they are.
I've seen things that say Non GMO Project on them before, and they seem good.
