A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are generally known as recombinant DNA technology. With recombinant DNA technology, DNA molecules from different sources are combined in vitro into one molecule to create a new gene. This DNA is then transferred into an organism and causes the expression of modified or novel traits.

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods produced from GMO that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. The most common modified foods are derived from plants: soybean, corn, canola cotton seed oil and wheat.

Fury and Sound as GM Seeds Abound  

We have all heard the great debates around genetically modified crops. But we also have all seen the advertising to sponsor a child in the Third World. Now the GM plant debate has erupted on other continents and smaller groups are raising sugar cane. In Brazil, in particular some harsh words on the issue of at least one critic.

Regarding this statement:

"Mrs Silvia Ribeiro said:" USDA role in the development of terminator seeds is a shameful example for the welfare of the companies in which a Technology, is bad for farmers, dangerous for the environment and disastrous consequences for world food security. "

This sounds a bit like a strong statement of anger a leader of a rebel group to yell," the leadership is unfit to lead "in pure guerrilla-style. Let us understand the free market element of leaders led by innovative companies such as Monsanto, is the focal point of this debate with their new GM terminator seeds that show promise in the feeding world.

If a company fails to meet the needs of its customers it will invite a new line of the economy and competition. If Do not waste your customer service someone else. For example; farmer Joe and friends growing plants to sell the seeds to neighbouring farmers to offset the incredible costs in the agriculture, with unknown and risky disbursements, with a co-op format, they violated in any way of GM seeds Terminator? It could be a blessing and a farmer help to graeren profitability, that is, when in fact Monsanto is to Bilk the industry and set a course for a hyper-tax breeds on human food supply, the last time I checked they will certainly earn money, but have no intention of destroying the human race, after all, they would not serve or another person. The other issues are explained Said farmer if they did.

Terminator seeds actually prevent infiltration across the seeds of wild species, help farmers if they have taken and are part of the solution in the world. Think about it, we are.

    GMO Food - The Greatest Threat in the History of Western Civilization

    Jeff Smith's book, Seeds of Deception, compiles 20 years of data on the health risks of genetically modified foods from scientists such as Arpad Pusztai and Trudy Netherwood who reported that feeding GMO food to laboratory animals resulted in thousands of sick, sterile and dead laboratory animals. The book also reports on allergic reactions and toxicity in humans from GMO foods.

    While American consumers remain oblivious, GMO Foods have been introduced into the US food supply without safety testing or even labeling. Already 70% of our US food supply is GMO, affecting corn, soy, cotton seed oil and canola oil.

    The follwing countries have banned GMO Food: Algeria, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Thailand, China, Japan, Phillipines, The European Union, Norway, Austria, Germany United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Luxembourg, Portugal, Brazil, Paraguay, Saudi Arabia, American Samoa, Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Australia, New Zealand.

    The British Medical Association has asked for a moratorium on GMO foods.
