The main uses of genetically engineered crops are 1) feeding meat animals, 2) producing ethanol for automobile fuel, and 3) producing food additives used in processed junk foods. avery_schauder https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295959574 2018-10-23 14:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295959574 Source A states that the majority of GMO's are not used for food but Source B states "90% of foods in supermarkets contain GMO ingredients. makenzie_johnson https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295960550 2018-10-23 14:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295960550 GMO's are harmful to animals and tortures them. katherine_adamo https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295961646 2018-10-23 14:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295961646 I can conclude that Source B is not accurate because the Author is not specialized in the topic, like Source A's author . Also, Source B was published in 2016, 2 years ago, whereas source A was Published in 2018, this year. Also, the publisher in Soure A is more well-known then the publisher in Source B. Therefore, Source A is more reliable than Source B, making it more likely to contain accurate information. makenzie_johnson https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295961944 2018-10-23 14:18:03 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295961944 GMO crops increase the use of pesticides, therefore killing more insects. This also means we are eating pesticides that we cannot digest. katherine_adamo https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295962417 2018-10-23 14:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295962417 In Source A, it states that GMO crops harm other crops and make it harder to farm because of it. However in Source B, one farmer noted that GMO's are essential to farming and the production of crops bridget_carriello https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295963955 2018-10-23 14:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295963955 Food is essentially genetically modified to produce more product. But the problem in World Hunger isn't that there is not enough food, it is that there isn't enough money to buy the food. katherine_adamo https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295965157 2018-10-23 14:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295965157 In source B, it states that bug-killing crops are beneficial for reducing insecticide, but GMO's are also killing beneficial insects like Bees, Butterflies, etc. which are needed in everyday life. So are they really beneficial? avery_schauder https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295965345 2018-10-23 14:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295965345 Lots of the food we eat today like pizza and even apples are genetically modified. katherine_adamo https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295975350 2018-10-23 14:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295975350 Restaurants like Chipotle are starting to eliminate GMO in the food they sell. katherine_adamo https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295980601 2018-10-23 14:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_johnson/m8f8ov67x4us/wish/295980601
