No GMOS! Do you know what you are really eating ?

What is a GMO? GMO stands for genetically modified organisms. GMO stands for genetically modified organisms. When a product has GMOS it means that the cells have been switched. When a product has GMOS it means that the cells have been switched. The usage of GMOS can be used to change the color of a product, change the nutritional value and more. The usage of GMOS can be used to change the color of a product, change the nutritional value and more.

Uncertainty Why are the long term affects unknown? Why are the long term affects unknown? How can one possibly know if they are eating a GMO, if it is not mandatory to label a product? How can one possibly know if they are eating a GMO, if it is not mandatory to label a product? Most people do not realize they are eating GMOs everyday and this is not good. Most people do not realize they are eating GMOs everyday and this is not good. Why are scientists not aware of the affect they are putting on the surroundings of an organism, when they use genetic engineering? Why are scientists not aware of the affect they are putting on the surroundings of an organism, when they use genetic engineering? Surrounding might be affected by dying out, losing a food source, etc. Surrounding might be affected by dying out, losing a food source, etc.

Health Risks GMOs could lead to cancer in the future. GMOs could lead to cancer in the future. Studies have shown that when tested on mice GMOs started causing allergies,infertility and much more.

GMO products are affecting children more than the adults,these children are our future generation.If we don’t do something now there will be no future. GMO products are affecting children more than the adults,these children are our future generation.If we don’t do something now there will be no future. Is this how we want our future to look? Is this how we want our future to look?

Crime Against Nature If nature was meant to be changed around then mother nature would have done so long ago! If nature was meant to be changed around then mother nature would have done so long ago! GMOS are being used not only on food but on animals. This is a large threat as many animals have died. The public only hears about the successful projects but not all the other projects who have caused so many problems. One of the only successful cloning was the cloning of " Dolly the Sheep" in GMOS are being used not only on food but on animals. This is a large threat as many animals have died. The public only hears about the successful projects but not all the other projects who have caused so many problems. One of the only successful cloning was the cloning of " Dolly the Sheep" in scientists are messing with our lives trying experiments that they do not know will work! They are changing the colors of fruit and the cells of animals!? scientists are messing with our lives trying experiments that they do not know will work! They are changing the colors of fruit and the cells of animals!? Should they be doing this Should they be doing this Why clone if it kills? Why clone if it kills?

Globalization Third world countries buy GMOs because they are cheap and want to feed their hungry population but do these countries realize that GMOs are killing their population faster than starvation?

Conclusion With this rapidly changing world scientists are growing and changing how our world functions. GMOS are not improving our world... With this rapidly changing world scientists are growing and changing how our world functions. GMOS are not improving our world... It is a health risk: cancer rates have increased: when you eat GMOS you are eating chemicals which could cause cancer It is a health risk: cancer rates have increased: when you eat GMOS you are eating chemicals which could cause cancer Uncertainty: people around the world are not aware of GMOS and what they can do to you Uncertainty: people around the world are not aware of GMOS and what they can do to you Crime against nature: Scientists believe that they should continue making changes in the world... they have begun cloning animals is that right? Crime against nature: Scientists believe that they should continue making changes in the world... they have begun cloning animals is that right? Those 3 arguements have one thing in common: they cause deaths Should we still continue with GMOS even if the results are death? Should we still continue with GMOS even if the results are death? We Say NO what about you? We Say NO what about you?
