Essay --

Genetically modified f ares (GMOs) have been a type of food that has taken over the foods in the United States. Some people arent even aware of what GMOs are and some wear thint question then there are some who refuse to eat it. Everyone has apace formed an opinion of GMOs, but not eeryone has beginnere the research to lie with where GMOs come from, who pushes for GMOs, why GMOs are good, why GMOs are bad, and what foods have GMOs. GMOs are an interesting part of our food that has progressed so fast and most dont even realize that it is in our food. GMOs have been around since the primal 1930s and have a quickly progressed more than than anyone could have ever imagined it would. But how did we get GMOs? This is something most people dont eff even though it is quite intriguing. In the 1930s, Andrei Belozersky, a Russian scientist, stray pure DNA. This led to a grad student at Stanford University in the 1970s to have the idea for man-made DNA. We then discovered how to do genes to become distasteful to antibiotics when moved from 1 bacterium to another. This led us to discover how we muckle insert genes into plants and animals DNA to grow immunity to diseases and resistant to pesticides. Then, in the mid 1970s, biologists, lawyers, and doctors created guidelines for safe genetically engineered DNA. In the 1980s, the commencement GMO clear for a living organism was created. Shortly after, this was followed by the FDA approving the first GMO, Humulin, to appear on the counters. The 1990s were the biggest boom of GMOs. Beginning in 1994, the US Food and Drug administration approved a GMO tomato to go on the shelves at the grocery stores this tomato was able to last longer than a conventional tomato. Shortly after the tomato hit the s... ...oven to be safe because most medicines are even genetically modified. The other line against the labeling is that it wouldnt tell you what was genetically modified in the food circumstance it wou ld just tell you that something in the food is genetically modified. So, as you can see, GMOs are a very tough subject with many distinguishable opinions on it. GMO foods are such a strong and debatable paper in our world today, but are this because people dont know a lot about it or is it because people dont know anything? As you see, GMOs have progressed and continued quickly for more than 70 years, even though many people dont support it. GMOs started as an experiment and have progressed since that it is now included in crops, medicine and livestock. It got to this point because of many people such as Andrei Belozersky, Monsanto, FDA, USDA, farmers, politicians, and us.
