Genetically Modified Foods The Cost and Benefit of Genetically Modified Foods By: Chris Kim

Why did I choose this topic? Grew up with an active lifestyle Played basketball and football 2 years ago, I grew an interested for weightlifting Bodybuilding Nutrition + Weightlifting = Bodybuilding This topic helped me learn more about nutrition and healthy dieting.

What is Genetically Modified Food? Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) Organisms altered by inserting genes from an external source such as viruses, bacteria, animals, or plants. Steroids and hormones Genetically Modified Crop (GMC) Plants used in agriculture, the DNA has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. Genetically Modified Food (GMF) Food containing or derived from genetically engineered organisms/crops. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riCQ8R3EG9U Source: Maghari, B. M., & Ardekani

Genetically Modified Crops An example: Crops altered DNA to grow larger and produce natural pesticides.

Genetically Modified Organisms An example: Organisms injected with steroids to increase growth.

Cost/Benefit of GMF Cost: Benefit: Health Problems Animals fed by GM crops have been harmed or even died. (Maghari, B. M., & Ardekani) Studies show people suffer from allergies caused by genetically modified foods. Animals suffer from harsh conditions Mass production/hormones and steroids Benefit: Developing countries are accepting the technology hoping to alleviate hunger and poverty. Cheaper for farmers Crops can be modified to be resistant to viruses/pests = farmers don’t need to spend money on pesticides Source: Maghari, B. M., & Ardekani

Interesting Facts By 2015, predicted that more than 200 hectares of land will be planted by biotech crops in 40 countries. 1 hectares = 10,000 square meters Major producers of GM crops: USA, Argentina, Canada, and China In the US, 80% of maize, cotton, and soya are biotech varieties. GMO are in as much as 80% of processed food. Source: Maghari, B. M., & Ardekani

Site Visit Union Square Farmers Market Open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday Saturday: Open from 8:00am – 6:00pm

Farmers Market Interview Farmers Market → AVOID GMF Benefit of Quality Food Nutritional value is higher when picked from farms day before. Rather than picked weeks before → packaged → shipped → sitting on shelves for days. Benefits to local community Find products you normally can’t get Get to know your farmers Farmers markets affect our economy Boosts farmers income → helping them shop more.
