Task:#2

1.)   Whether genetically engineered foods need to be labelled and if so what should be listed on that label?

These are the two main arguments on this topic:

Agree

Consumers have a right to know whether the food they are eating has been genetically engineered.

Disagree

Genetically modifying foods makes them safer, more nutritious, and better tasting. Requiring labels on these foods gives the false impression that they are unsafe.

Yes it is true that some are making some people safer and tastier, people do deserve to know what they are eating and have the choice between the genetically engineered foods and fresh organic foods. Saying that the GM foods are making foods safer is false to a degree, because some of the pesticides used to make the foods can cause allergies and not knowing that the food your eating is a GM food using these pesticides could be fatal to the consumer because they won’t be able to find out what is causing this reaction.  There for I agree with the labelling of the foods. What I think should be put on the labels is that it is a GM food where it is made and what is used in the growth and or production of the food. This information should be located in a easy to see and easy to read location on the product.

2.)   Whether genetically engineered foods are a hazard to the environment and if so, should they only be allowed under strict government regulation? If stricter government regulations are needed, then what should be listed in these regulations?

GM foods are a great risk and hazard to humans and the rest of the environment. Here are some risks to humans. Toxic, poisonous, an increased risk for cancer of any kind, food allergies, a damage to food quality and nutrition, cause a resistance to certain antibiotics, a increased pesticide residue in the soil and on the crops... I think that the regulations are strict enough  they just need to be enforced more and more efficiently. The only thing that i think that needs work is the labelling of the products. But that goes right along with the regulations being enforced because there are already regulations for the labelling of the products the manufactures just need to starts doing it and the government needs to start making them do it.
