Genetically Engineered Food Taking Over

Americans have become wide critics about what exactly they eat on a daily basis. Food labels have become unimportant in todays society, as many don’t exactly know what type of ingredients they consume. Food has become the target of many people’s lives, killing over 3,000 people a year due to the fact of many food born pathogens and illnesses growing in our food. Many argue that our food is not safe anymore and that many of the food industries oppose to health issues because they base on how much they make for selling their inhumane products. In California Prop 37 was decline, this proposition claimed the “right to know” of what exactly the consumption of food would be. These big industries argued that consumers should not have the right to know because they would have to deal with large lawsuits and that food would increase $400 more on their yearly grocery bills. These food industries don’t what their consumers to know how food production is made in their big farm factories. Supports believe that everyone should have the right to know the types of food that have been genetically engineered and make knowledgeable decisions on what to feed their families.

Many researchers have concluded that our foods are becoming more contaminated, and industries are not well aware of the harms they are causing to our society by creating Genetically Engineered foods. To think that our society has become ignorant to this issue, I argue that by digging deeper through these industries hands we can make a change on how they produce our foods. This issue has become more of a political issue affecting our food health. Why should we wonder about what’s in our burgers. Are we actually eating real “food” or is everything we eat now engineered? I don’t think that our food should be genetically engineered; we can let our crops grow the way nature allows it, so that we can stop all these illnesses causes by pesticides and bacteria’s.  We should limit the amount of death cause by food illnesses and support the smaller farms that treat their animals humane. Supporting big industries only makes them bigger, but it does not do any good to our way of living.  Finding evidence of our foods can only put us a step forward to see the hidden lies behind our foods.
