My topic is about genetically modified foods, and if they are safe alternatives to natural foods. The controversy regarding GM foods is whether or not they are safe for consumption, because scientists have gone in and altered the genes of some crops and we do not know if they create adverse reactions. We haven't had GM foods around for long enough to fully understand them. To fully research my topic, I will be using the Napa Main Library, online databases, and the larger web to find appropriate sources. My "emotional investment" comes from my parents, as they are very against GMOs and usually buy only organic foods. I would like to solidify my understanding of the topic and help inform them more as well. I am wondering if there are enough studies and informative papers out there for me to research.
