According to LiveStrong, genetically modified foods contain about twice amount the nutrients than normal foods. An example of this is Golden Rice which was created for people with Vitamin A deficiencies. ]]> 2019-02-28 02:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nysadusumilli/rneipwg70ed5/wish/336235347 Foreign Foods nysadusumilli https://padlet.com/nysadusumilli/rneipwg70ed5/wish/336235410 Many crops would have to come from foreign countries which is very expensive which is where genetically modified crops come into play. According to the Heinemann Library, most of the crops that are genetically modified crops would have had to come from foreign countries otherwise. Growing them here ensures that they are free of foreign disease.]]> 2019-02-28 02:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nysadusumilli/rneipwg70ed5/wish/336235410 World Hunger nysadusumilli https://padlet.com/nysadusumilli/rneipwg70ed5/wish/336237236 World hunger and malnutrition are some of the biggest problems in today's world, but genetically modified foods can help conquer this problem. According to the Heinemann Library, many countries are trying to apply genetically modified crops to their farms because of the amount of people that are dying in these small countries simply because of the lack of food.]]> 2019-02-28 02:43:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nysadusumilli/rneipwg70ed5/wish/336237236 Pesticides nysadusumilli https://padlet.com/nysadusumilli/rneipwg70ed5/wish/336237696 Genetically modified foods have proven to be able to conquer pesticides better than other crops. According to Heinemann Library, there is a bacterium called Bacillus Thuringiensis that is found in the soil of genetically modified crops. This bacterium produces a toxin that is harmful to almost all insects but is harmless to other organisms.]]> 2019-02-28 02:45:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nysadusumilli/rneipwg70ed5/wish/336237696 Conclusion nysadusumilli https://padlet.com/nysadusumilli/rneipwg70ed5/wish/336242378 As these pieces of evidence show, genetically modified foods are necessary for the survival of this world because they can help get rid of pesticides, they can helps get rid of malnutrition and world hunger, they contain many nutrients, and they ensure that are foreign disease are not brought over from other countries.]]> 2019-02-28 03:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nysadusumilli/rneipwg70ed5/wish/336242378 Sources nysadusumilli https://padlet.com/nysadusumilli/rneipwg70ed5/wish/336242841 Vaesa, Janelle, et al. “GMOs: Benefits and Negative Effects of Genetically Modified Food.” Decoded Science, 19 July 2013, www.decodedscience.org/gmo-food-pro-and-con/23179.
