What are the current issues fueling the debate over genetically engineered or genetically modified foods?

Say No To Genetic Engineering. Green Peace. 8 July 2009.

This article on the Green Peace website outlines the possible dangers of genetically

engineering the world’s food supply including Green Peace’s stance on GMO foods and

the labeling requirement.


Steinbrecher, Dr. Ricarda. What is Genetic Engineering? A Magazine of Green Social

Thought, Volume 18. Winter 1999: Pp 9-12.

This article not only explains what genetic engineering is, it gives a brief, easy to

understand description of genes and DNA that would help the average reader

comprehend what exactly genetic engineering is. This article was much more valuable

than the green peace article, in that it had more factual information and less bias.


Genetically Modified Food Crops. Your World, Biotechnology and You. Volume 10,

Issue 1.

This was by far the best article I found. This magazine had a lot of information on what

genetically modified foods are and how they are modified. It also talked about what

GMO foods are used for, like vaccines.
