The EPA, USDA, and FDA has allowed the green light to the generation of GMO crops... to be sprayed with strong toxicides. Although some people believe that we don't need to label GMO crops, it may actually be argued that 93% of Americans want GMO labels because peoples health is more important than the products companies are selling, and they have the right to know what's in their foods.]]> 2018-02-28 21:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683176 8camb8321 https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683262 First of all, not labeling GMOs would have people wondering about their health and what the foods have. According to Newsela "Banned In Europe But Not In U.S.", it states, "long term exposure to glyphosate can cause damage to the human body." As a result, it can cause health problems and more people would get sick. Furthermore, it'll cost the people money to get the treatment they need. ]]> 2018-02-28 21:20:31 UTC https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683262 8camb8321 https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683397 Secondly, the glyphosate can affect you in negative ways. For example, glyphosate herbicide is sprayed on 84% of GMO crops...would be added to list of cancer-causing chemicals. This is important because if people don't know what's in their food, they can get sick. In addition,  it's important to consider that companies should start labeling GMO foods.]]> 2018-02-28 21:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683397 8camb8321 https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683450 Not to mention, it's important for companies to label all GMO foods because people should have the right to know what chemicals are in their foods. As a matter of fact, a common argument against labeling GMO foods is labeling would be expensive, and that useless information would just be passed on to the consumer. Moreover in an article, it demonstrates that a company said that 'labeling GMOs would give its consumers 'additional confidence' when purchasing their products. Therefore, consumers would have more confidence in that company since they know what's in their food.]]> 2018-02-28 21:21:05 UTC https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683450 8camb8321 https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683631 To conclude, the question of whether we should label all GMO foods is very debatable. Based on the Newsela article and "Should GMO Labeling Be Required Of All Foods? Here's A Look At Both Of The Story", I believe that we should label GMO foods. The reasons are the chemical glyphosate can have negative effect on you, and people are going to be wondering what's in their food. Overall, although labeling would be expensive, companies should worry more about people's health more than selling their products. ]]> 2018-02-28 21:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683631 8camb8321 https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683832 https://newsela.com/read/foodlabel-procon/id/12799/]]> 2018-02-28 21:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683832 8camb8321 https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683921 https://mic.com/articles/156446/should-gmo-labeling-be-required-of-all-foods-here-s-a-look-at-both-sides-of-the-story#.pekLPNpEO]]> 2018-02-28 21:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236683921 8camb8321 https://padlet.com/8camb8321/cassy1/wish/236741858 1. long term exposure to glyphosate can  cause kidney and reproductive damage, damage to the human gut and digestive system
2. glyphosate herbicide is sprayed on 84% of GMO crops...would be added to list of cancer-causing chemicals
3. nestle explained that labeling GMOs would give its consumers "additional confidence" when purchasing their products


1. one study found that reduced quantity of pesticides by 37 percent and cost by 39 percent...trace amounts of pesticides that you find in average diet are totally safe
2. we can produce crops that are easier to process, crops produce foods that spoil less from molds, fewer allergens, and grow medicines in them....labeling would be expensive, discourage innovation in the technology.
3. more than 70% of Americans don't want GMOs in their foods because there's no evidence of harm from GMO crops/ingredients created for them
