the central idea of the text is that there's different opinions of GMO's and people have different beliefs and thinking about it.

PROS

they offer potential because they make it last long and healthier.

CONS

it hasn't been long enough for us to know about the long-term health effects.

another "were putting genes into crops that have never been in the food supply before"

The central idea of the text is most GMOs are bad because most of the foods that GMOs can get you severely sick or be harmful to your health care. Another reason is from the text "between 1996 and 2011 bug killing corn reduced insecticide use in corn production by 45 percent worldwide." This shows that most food restaurants need to go GMO free because it can harm your health care. Another piece of evidence is that some average food like cereal or pizza can contain lots of GMO that young Americans eat everyday. The last piece of evidence is that while it make food look way better it makes food be more harmful to you and your body.

We think that this article's main idea is about the controversy surrounding the topic of GMOs.

One piece of evidence is that first they state that many people in different places in the world protesting GMO products. This shows that many people don't like GMOs.

Another piece of evidence is that a scientist named Yves Carriere says that "GMOs have positive environmental effects," so that shows that some people think that like GMOs.

Finally, farmers say that the GMOs in their crops allow them to make more crops to feed their livestock.

The central idea of "The Battle Over GMOs" is about the big argument over GMOs. Many people depend on GMOs especially beef. A pro of GMOs is how good it makes food taste. Most parts of GMOs are bad. According to most scientists including Lena Romaldini. Lena is "a 21 year old who goes to the University of New Hampshire who tries to buy organic foods.". She says that mixing the DNA of plants is like "playing with god". GMOs can cause diseases and can kill people. They have a huge impact on American society from the government.

The central idea we came up with is GMOs are both good and bad for the environment as supported by in the text it says" bug-killing crops are benieficial because they reduce the use of insecticides, which can harm people and the environment." It also talks about how many compeneis are dropping the use of GMOs, inferring that they are bad, as well as saying that "[GMOs] have positive environmental effects,". Lastly it talks about how farmers depend on GMOs to feed animals.

The central idea of the text is the argument against G.M.O's and how they are bad for you. In these two paragraphs, it talks about how the battle of G.M.O's has affected people in different ways. For example, Chipotle changed their menu's to all free of genetically modified foods.

Pros:

People are able to get food for cheap prices

They still taste the same as other good foods

G.M.O's can help people get enough food to feed them completely

Cons:

They can lead to bad health affects

They include chemicals that can be dangerous for humans

They are genetically modified to be a certain way, so they might not be as good quality as real organic products

# data[].attributes.body
The central idea is that GMOs can be bad and good this is supported because gives us many examples. some good examples are that they help feed lots of the population. they also kill insecticides and insecticides are not good. The bad things are that we are mixing genes of animals that we have never mixed before. Since GMOs can not be affected by herbicides, this allows farmers to use more chemicles. In turn using more chemicals can cause harm to the environment

# data[].attributes.body
The main idea of the text is that GMO's have pros and cons. In the text, the author writes that GMO's have a negative impact on the environment because they kill off insects and add chemicals to fruits and vegetables. Another reason why GMO's have pros and cons is because they can prevent illness. In the text, the author says that a pink pineapple that is awaiting approval is bred to kill off cancer. Another reason is that there is no way of knowing what long term health effects GMO's may have on consumers (humans). Lastly, companies are refusing to put labels on fruits and vegetables that contain GMO's. People who are on a strictly organic diet are upset that there is no way of know if something is infused with GMO's.

The central idea of the text is GMO's are a good and bad thing. The text often states that people don't like GMO's "Only 37

percent of Americas think they're to eat." Many people are saying that GMO's are a form of bioterrorism.

But the text also says that Michael Gray who is a GMO expert says "They do offer enormous potential."

# data[].attributes.body
The central idea may be that GMOs can vary between being good and bad.

Pros:

Helps out our growing population with food problems.

According to Yves Carrieres, a GMO expert, "Scientifically, they are positive and safe."

Cons:

We may not know enough about them, as said by Doug Gurian-Sherman, a scientist at the Center for Food Safety.

Animals that rely on weeds, like the Monarch Butterfly may die out.

The central idea is why its bad for us to eat and put foods.

Pros

A 16 year-old who works on a dairy farm in orange, said that the GMO's help him with the growth of crops, another pro is these crops with GMO's can survive way longer cause of what's in it could help us cause these crops can grow in bad weather with the GMO's

Cons

"I think we're just digging ourselves into this hole that we're not going to be able to get out of"- The paragraph "I don't think we know enough. The other reason we have is In Los Angeles protesters chanted "Hell no GMO" So this shows that people don't care about how fast it takes to grow all they want is not to be eating bad stuff in there foods that are not good for them. hi

# data[].attributes.body
The main idea of " The Battle Over GMOs " is GMOs have pros and cons.

One piece of evidence is that they are a con is that they have declined 90 percent of monarch butterfly population.

Another piece of evidence is that GMOs are a pro is that farmers rely on GMOs to help their crops grow.

The second piece of evidence that GMOs are bad is that they are not natural and can cause harm to people.

The last piece of evidence that they are pros is that farmers rely on them to feed their animals.

This proves that GMOs have pros and cons.

# data[].attributes.body
Our central idea about GMOs are how GMOs both have bad and good effects. A bad part about GMOs is how some parts of the GMO can harm people, like herbicides. Another bad effect about GMOs is how we don't know what to expect since they have not been around for a long time and that can lead to negative outcomes. A good part about GMOs is how it can help people struggling through cancer and prevent people from getting the disease, as well as GMOs offering more options and ways of a food company to gain success.

Central Idea

The central idea is that some people think that GMOs are good or bad.

------------------------------------

1 pro is that GMOs help farmers with their crops. They make their production higher.

Another pro is that Micheal Gray said "I think that [genetically modified] crops are here to stay."

1 con is that a lot of fast-food resturaunts are declining GMOs because they do not think they are safe.

According to the text, The Battle Over GMOs, another con is "Only 37 precent of Americans think they're safe to eat."

# data[].attributes.body
even though the government approves most GMO products they can not be completely trusted to eat. One con about GMO products is that we don't know the bad health effects that could come in the long run. Another con is the fact that most percent of crops in the U.S. have pesticides and herbicides sprayed on them to survive bugs and weeds. This means that a lot of the crops go into most of the foods that we eat. However, with the cons come a few pros. One of these pros includes the fact that some GMO foods have anti-oxidants that may help prevent cancer and allow foods to last longer. Another pro is that farmers depend on GMOs for their crops to grow faster, and then make more money in the food industry.

# data[].attributes.body
The central idea is there are pros and cons to GMOs.

Pros: Helps crops grow faster, helps farmers feed their animals

Cons: We don't know if the long-term effects are healthy or not, some scientists fear GMOs because they may hurt the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Our central idea is that GMO's have many effects on the world.

Cons

-Earth could get over populated over time

-Since it hasn't been around for long, we don't know the long-term effects.

Pros

-Cancer preventing GMO's

-They help farmers with production and overall well-being of their crops
