On Monday morning, Jung-min Lee and Soo-jin Yoon presented Pros and Cons of Genetically Modified Food. Genetically Modified Food is known as GMO foods. After I saw the presentation, I felt strongly that we should stop using GMO foods due to affecting bad effects on not only us but also ecosystem. This is reasons that I obejct to GMO.
First, GMO could threat the ecosystem. As seen by presentation, Super salmons which were raised by GMO are much bigger than general salmons, even younger. And these are eating much more or have strong reproduction than general salmons. Therefore, general salmons will become extinct by Super salmons. If general salmons die out, food chain will be broken and then ecosystem will be in danger.
Second, GMO foods have potential diseases. Nowadays, though simple diseases like peanut disease in Brazil or common allergy appeared, our dietary life and healthy are being menaced due to GMO foods which have potential diseases. Because we don’t have any information or symptom about potential diseases, they are more dangerous in our lives.
Practically, GMO foods are used in many parts sausages, hams and so on. Also, people think that we can make alternative energy or solve the food problem by using GMO foods. I agree this point, too, but basically GMO foods which threat our dietary life and healthy should be treated by regulation of government or obvious labeling systems for our lives.
I know that's difficult to define whether it's good or not. So we have to wait the right answer. But it will take a lot of time ;)
답글삭제I guess it has sth to do with your major. Actually, I didn't care about the effect for human, but OMG, I've changed my mind. It's big issue. You can make the GOOD food and ingrediant by your major. Good luck! :D
답글삭제Yes, i think so too. GMO should be treated carefully. Because as you said, it has some potential risk and can disturb ecosystem. But one thing you need to know is the world population is increaing. So actually i think GMO is necessary for future life. In other words, proper using is important.
