Gmos Persuasive Essay

Have you ever looked inside your refrigerator and thought, ”I wonder how all of this food ended up here?”, If you have, you and the rest of America would be surprised at the answer. Many people in the U.S do not know where and how their food is produced, which raises many

eyebrows when being discussed about. As a result of GMOs being used in the production of food, GMOs have caused many risks that have affected the health of people as well as the creation of a false idea, which will negatively affect our future. In order for these risks to come to an end, the use of Genetically Modified Organisms must be banned from the production of food in the United States.

One of the risks that GMO injected foods create is the risk of health problems for

the consumers. Many health problems have affected people throughout the introduction of GMOs and the risks only seem to grow. And with each injected food item carrying a possibility of carcinogens such as , more and more people are being at risk of developing diseases in their bodies(Philips1). People are now also getting allergic reactions because of their consumption of
modified food.(Paturel and Nazario 3). When these people are being affected, they are clueless as to why they are developing health problems. Since only about 5% of the population know about the reality of Genetically Modified Organisms, we understand the reason as to why the number of these health complications are increasing(Paturel and Nazario 3). People are becoming sick and nothing has been put in place to stop the risks of more people getting health complications. With the lack of importance towards GMOs, many have been effected with other risks than just health.
Despite the truth of Genetically Modified Organisms being known about by people in the population, many people have the wrong impression of GMOs, and often believing in misleading information.

Even though many do not know information about GMOs, some are being misinformed about the truth of GMOs. Since the creation of Genetically Modified Organisms in the 1930s, many have been told that GMOs are safe and do not have negative effects upon consumption, which is misleading and not fully trustworthy(Miller1). As a result, many who have been misleaded have been tricked into believing false information and are now affected with various risks. With various surveys being conducted in order to see the viewpoints of people on the use of GMOs in food, the number of people who are pro-GMO is only increasing. Whenever ⅓ of 1,000 people surveyed are in favor for chemicals that have a possibility of hurting them, then there must be a resolution to this ongoing problem(Philips1). The government should reduce these numbers and provide the truth to the public. We need to realize ourselves that the reality of food production is not being provided to us, and if we want to end the false ideas from affecting us anymore. Instead having 23% of 1000 people knowing about GMOs, everyone must know the truth and reality of the food production in the U.S(Non Gmo1). If so were to happen, consequently the future of the nation will become increasing in

positivity.
As a result of the increase of Genetically Modified Organisms throughout history, the future of the food production in the U.S. will create an increase of risks of people who have consumed GMO contaminated food. Since the U.S has approved the use of GMOs in the production of food, many companies throughout history have began to create more chemicals which have resulted in an increase of health risks for consumers(Non Gmo 1). If GMOs stay legalized in the production of food, then there may be an increase of new health problems amongst consumers. Many of the people who do know of the results of GMO contaminated foods do not want new chemicals to be injected in foods, and would rather want no chemicals in their food(Nazario and Patruel 3). If the government ever decides to join the other nations such as Australia, Japan, Britain, etc that have banned the use of GMOs in food production, then there would be a decrease in health related problems and a decrease of other possible risks
(Gmo Facts 1). If the use of GMOs is banned, the future of the nation will become greater and healthier.
In conclusion, Genetically Modified Organisms must be banned from the production of food in U.S. in order to decrease the various risks that it creates. Despite GMOs causing many problems and risks that affect our health, thoughts, and potentially our future, the U.S. government has not considered banning chemicals such as GMOs from the production of food. However, if the whole could unite and discuss their problems to the government, then possibly actions could be made to prevent any more risks and problems. The next time you look in your refrigerator, think of the food you're about to eat and think about where it really came from and then decide if you want to take that risk of having more risks in the future.
