harmful aspects of gmos - 0 views

    I think the main issue of GMOs is that we really have no idea what the effects are going to be on the environment/soil etc in the future. This article talks about that as well as a philosophical side which is kind of a different spin on things

gm beer? - 0 views

    I was curious if people did this and I guess they do! IN this case it is used for a temperature control so the yeast doesn't die as quickly. It says this particular beer is made with corn and the corn has less pesticides than normal...I'm not sure I believe it.

    FDA is pending an approval for gm salmon

    This is something I had not even thought of, I was just beginning to understand fruits and vegetables but now salmon! How similar is genitally modifying a fish similar to treating cows or chickens with antibiotics with its effects of the human body?

    "Medicines and vaccines often are costly to produce and sometimes require special storage conditions not readily available in third world countries. Researchers are working to develop edible vaccines in tomatoes and potatoes16, 17. These vaccines will be much easier to ship, store and administer than traditional injectable vaccines."

    would the benefits of this outweigh the risk of allergies/pesticides and all the other dangers of GMOs? what if someone was allergic to a certain vaccine?

    This is about an hour long but it's really interesting and debates the difference between having foreign material in food and the ability to be able to feed less fortunate countries
