GMO

GMO is a genetically modified organism that had its genetic material modified in order to produce a specific trait. GMO is accomplished through genetic engineering techniques. Scientists have already been successful with the genetic modification of plants and animals. GMO has become very controversial because of its side effects on certain organisms. This is why GMO should be banned throughout the world. There are a large amount of disadvantages when it comes to GMO. GMO has the potential to damage humans and animals. It was originally designed to kill the insects that were trying to consume the crop. The toxins were successful killing the insects but it was also gaining entrance into the humans’ diet. It can produce autism, trigger allergies, birth affects and ultimately cancer. GMO makes natural nutrients unavailable to us and replaces it with toxins. The effects of the toxins trigger unhealthy symptoms. In South Africa, a large amount of people were eating GMO crops. These crops caused deadly effects such as headaches, runny noses, crossed eyes, and death. When the corn was not GMO, the people displayed a healthy status. GMO can be severe to children because kids are more sensitive to smaller amounts of toxins. It can affect the child's growth development. In animals, it can have negative reactions within them. While consuming GMO plants, animals such as pigs and cattle can tremendously suffer. The pigs on the farm experienced deadly diarrhea and high death rates. The cattle got ill and also had high death rates. It was not until the farmers changed the animals' diet that they started becoming healthier. The GMO diet had extremely negative side affects on the animals.
