That Shit

*Updated to include the 5-8 sources for the research paper, linked down there
"Post that shit"
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. In Opposing Viewpoints, I have found a good argument for allowing GMFs, and a good argument against allowing them: ...
The article concerned with banning GM foods is helpful because it takes careful measures to disprove the the main supposed benefits of GMOs, systematically listing and disproving many ideas. He references many scientific studies, and uses specific examples of times when instances disproved the claims of GMO promoters.
The other article is interested in allowing the continued use and study of GM crops, citing the constant testing of the GMOs and the constant not-worrying results. He also talks about the benefits like the resistance to climate, diseases, bugs, and how it may be the future of sustainability for third-world countries--this paper is good because it actually swayed my thoughts a bit!
