Biology Is Life !

YAAAY first !!! :D
Organic Foods are definitely better than other types of food. They are naturally produced without the use of pesticides or other harmful chemicals. Although it is a little more expensive, it is not harmful, it is good for you, and it tastes much better!
Of course it matters if genetically altered food is eaten.
It has an impact on our health. We could get allergies, and who knows what could result from the unintended transfer of transgenes through cross-pollination. The effects are unknown, which makes it very scary. It is also unethical to tamper with nature by mixing genes among species.
As consumers, we should have the right to know what has happened to our food before eating it. Everything should be properly labeled and labeling should become mandatory in the US.
Soybeans are the most commonly genetically modified crops.
GM foods: Harmful or Helpful
The website discusses the pros and cons of GM foods and the effects they could have on human health. It also tells us about the correct labeling that is used for GM and organic foods to know the difference between them and avoid being tricked by fake labels.
 

1. there is no definite reasearch that says organic foods are more nutritous than genetically modified foods.
2. yes, because the genetic manipulation of plants prevents some viruses.
3. yes, because it is important to know what has been done to your food before you eat it
4.corn, canola, flax, potatoes, tomatoes, squash, and soybeans
5.THS SITE talks about if genetically modified foods are safe to eat
 

uno) There's no evidence that says organic is better-everything has to meet the same safety standards. It's good that they're free of pesticides, though.

deux) As with organic foods, there is no evidence that GM foods are any worse for you than normal foods. But, we also cannot tell if there will be bad effects in the future regarding health, the environment, etc.

drei) We definitely have a right to know what we're eating. Some people are really particular about what kinds of food they eat- they wouldn't have to be afraid of buying the wrong thing if all the food is labeled. NO FAKE LABELS, EITHER! You shouldn't have to trick people into buying your product; if it was any good, they'd buy it in the first place.

four) The main GM crops are soybeans, cotton, corn and oilseed rape (yes i thought the name was strange too...)

This site talks about what GM foods are, the pros and cons, and how the government regulates them.

ps- did you like the four-lingual numbers? :) don't expect me to say anything else though... i can only count to 3 in french:)
 

Yes!!!Organic foods are definitely better for you than other types of food. This is because they are produced naturally, this means without the use of pesticides and other chemicals.
I believe that the it does matter to your body when you eat genetically altered food. Altered food causes allergies and organic food distinctly makes you feel better.
As a consumer, I believe that we should definitely have the right to know what it genetically altered and what is not. I think that everything should be clearly labeled to show that they are different. Even though some people may buy the altered food because it is cheaper, they know that it is altered.
The most commonly genetically altered crops are soy beans, cotton, oilseed rape, and corn.

Differences Between COnventional and Organic Foods.

This website talks about the differences between conventional and organic foods.
 

hey eye... to answer your question... the only other language i could ever do wasASL

..and now i am REALLY bad @ it.
:0

but i like your multilingual approach

1.) I do believe that organic foods are better than inorganic food.
2.)I do think it matters because something could have changed in the process and it could get us sick
3.) We should be able to know if our food is organic or not, or genetically modified. It could prevent us from becoming sick.
4.)Soybeans,corn, and tomatoes are oftenly genetically modified
5.)http://www.csa.com/discoveryguides/gmfood/overview.php

This website discusess if it is a good thing or not to genetically modify food.
 

i think that organic foods are better for you, maybe just cuz when i hear the word organic i think of healthy things, but i dont think that genetically altered food is "bad" for you its just not normal? ive never heard of anyone getting hurt by genetic altered food but maybe there will be side effects someday.i dont think it matters that much to our body that we genetically altered food because have you seen some of the other stuff we eat, if our body can handle that stuff i think it can handle genetically altered things. we defenitly need to know what we are going to put into our body, because if maybe your illergec to something or your just gross out you need to know what exactly your eating.alot of corn and potatoes are altered alot.

I think that organic foods are better for you. They are produced without any chemicals or stuff like that. It does matter if you eat food that is genetically altered. Genetically altered foods can cause things such as allergies. You never know something could have gone wrong. I believe that as a consumer you have the right to know is the foods you are buying are organic or genetically altered. We should know everything about what we are eating. Corn and soy beans are the most genetically modified crops.

This website tells us the benefits of organic foods such as reducing health risks.
 

1. Yes i do belive organic food are better than other food.
2. I do you think it matters to our body if the foods we eat have been genetically altered.Even if it is organic or not you never know if something went wrong in the process that could make us sick.
3. Yes as consumer do we have the right to know if the foods we are buying are organic or Genetically modified because than you know what is going into your body.
4. Corn, soybeans and tomatoes are most commonly genetically modified.
5. Harmful effects of GM
 

Yes, organic foods are better for you then other foods.
I dont think it matters to your body if the foods you eat have been genetically altered.
Yes, i think we should have the right to know if our foods are organic or genetically modified.
Some crops that are geneticly modifidy are herbicide- and insect-resistant soybeans, corn, cotton, canola,alfalfa, sweet potatos, rice, bannana and fruit and nut trees that grow fruits and nuts at a much earlier year.

50 Harmful Effects of Genetically Modified Foods
This site tells about the dangers of GM foods. In 50 years, 95% of all native grains, beans, nuts, fruits, and vegetable varieties from the US have disappered.
 

yea they are. inorganic foods put things in your body that probably shouldnt. if i was insane i would eat all organic foods but id rather not. it probably does matter that the food that goes into your body is geneticly altered because some of those changes may be bad for our bodies. yea we should no because sometimes there are health reasons explaining the reasons people eat organic foods. i dont think food should be geneticaly modified to begin with unless it makes the item healthier for us.the four main crops are soya beans, maize, cotton and oilseed rape.
 

organic foods are definately better for you than other foods are. to me i really don't care if the foods i eat are organic or genetically altered. but genetically altered foods are most likely not good for me at all. as a consumer i do believe that i have a right to know if the foods i eat are genetically altered or organic. even though i don't care i'd still like to know just in case i get sick because of what i eat or something. some genetically modified soy, cotton, canola, corn, zucchini and yellow squash, Hawaiian papaya, and some tobacco.

This site helps you to find out more about denetically modified foods and how to avoid them.
 

#1 yes they are beacuse thats the way the came and thats the way they should stay we are "organic" from the minute we are born no additives or presveratives as the goddess (or whatever diety you believe in) intented we weren't pumped full of Artifical colors, or steriods to make bigger better humans.
#2 yes for example i know when i eat foods pumped with red dyes beacuse i breakout in tiny symetical bumps all over my face they itch but not all that bothersome
#3 very yes when i want an organic tomato dye free i should be able to buy one without having to go to the farm and gaurd it as it grows.
#4 soybeans, corn, cotton, canola, alfalfa, sweet potato, rice.
#5 this site talks about the benefits of oraganic foods suh as lower pesticide residues, lower hyper activity in preschoolers and more. this site is total 100% pro organic. as well as explaining why just beacuse its more expenseive that i can be afforded.

mmmm yummy!
 

Organic foods are definitelyyyy better than yucky processed foods without a doubt ! Although there is no proven fact that organic foods are better, they are definitely better than foods that are completely processed. Most animals today are injected with hormones to make the food last longer, and not expire. It's unhealthy because you don't even know what kind of chemicals you are ingesting. In my opion, eating food that is genetically altered is weirdd, and could be bad. It's just different, but in a bad way. Who wants to eat something that has had its genes altered, and could be a mix of two different types of animals ? I know I don't.
I think that we should definitely have the right to know if the foods that we are eating are genetically modified in any way. If you're putting it into your body,you should know EXACTLY what it's composed of. Soybeans, canola, and corn are the most common genetically modified crops.

This site gives a clear definition of organic foods. It explains that organic does not mean completely natural, but has the least amount of pesticides and/or chemicals as possible. It displays that more and more famers are switching to organic foods now. It explains why organic foods are so much more expansive than processed foods, which is because there is more of a demand for them now that health and nutrition awareness is becoming popular. It all goes back to supply and demand. There is less harm done to animals with organic foods, and it is safer for the environment. The website also states that there is no scientific evidence that suggests that organic foods are better than conventional foods, but organic foods contain a less amount of pesticides and chemicals than conventional foods.
 

1) in my opinion organic foods are better for you but there is actually no actual scientific test that says organic foods are better.

2) no i do not think it matters. if the foods were altered than your body learns to adjust just like it learns to fight off different kinds of diseases.

3) yes we do have a right to know. maybe some people only eat organic and if it doesnt say it and they buy genetically modified they could get sick.

4) soya beans, maize, cotton and oilseed rape and looking to include rice

5) This site tells about genetically modified foods and some advantages and how to detect these foods
 

There's been no evidence that shows that organic foods are better than other foods but I think that they are definetly a better choice because they're not full of pesticides and ohter chemicals that could be harmful to your body. There might not be any immediate effects on your body when you eat genetically modified foods but in the long run it has been ahown that it can destroy your health. As a consumer I definetly think that i have the right to know everything about what I eat, including if it has been genetically modified or not. Many common crops are genetically modified, such as corn, canola, flax, potatoes, tomatoes, squash, and soybeans.
GM foods:50 harmful effects
This website talks about so many harmful effects GM foods can have in health, the environment, farming, and even the economy.
 

Organic foods are so much better for you than other foods. I think it definately matters. The reason is because some foods are healthy for you and it makes a big impact.I honestly think we have the right to know. The reason is because I think we should know what we are eating. Some of the crops are soybeans, corn and potatos, squash, and tomatos.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_food

This article is about how organic food is good for you. It also explains how it is legal as well. The article also shows the kinds of food that are organic and it also says without organic food we could get sick.
 

1. Organic foods are better for you than other foods. No pesticides or harmful chemicals are put into the food you eat. They are all natural =).
2. I do think it matters to your body if the foods you eat have been genetically altered. I think eatting organic would be a lot better for your body. All the genetically altered food all turns different colors in yourt stomach and is just not health for you.
3. As a consumer I do think we have the right to know if the foods we are buying are organic or genetically modified? Why should we be hidden froim something that could really affect our health?
4. The crops that are most commonly genetically modified are soybeans, cotton, squash and potatoes?
5. Click Here On the link you can see how organic foods help not only you but the environment. Also it gives you recipes that conatain just organic foods

1.) I think organic food are better than other foods because they are produced naturally, but there is no evidence. Also, my link showed benifits in GM foods.
2.) It may matter to your body if you have allergies are get a disease by eating something.
3.) Yes i think we have the right to know what we are buying and what goes into our body.
4.) some crops most commonly GM are soy beans, corn and potatoes.
5.)Click Here
Explains how Gm crops can provide better nutrition and can increase protein content helping solve malnutrition in some countries.
 

1. Yes, I do believe that organic foods are better than other foods. There are many chemicals added to the foods to give it a longer shelf life and to help produce more of that product. Who knows what these chemicals are doing to our bodies. Organic foods are all-natural with no chemicals, so there is basically no risk of sickness. (Except for mad cow and probably other diseases that I don't know about.)

2. Yes, I thihnk it matters. As I said before, all the chamicals that have been added to the GM foods are probably not doing our bodies any good. This will only hurt us in the long run.

3. Yes, I think it matters. As a matter of fact, I think it should be mandatory on all food labels. We should be able to make the choice to buy a product or not by looking at the label. It it tells you that it is genetically modified, then people might not want to buy it. We should be able to make the choice to go organic or GM, based on food labels, for the sake of our health.

4. Some common genetically modified foods are corn, canola, flax, potatoes, tomatoes, squash, and soybeans.

5. WebMD

This site discusses the benefits and disadvantages of genetically modified foods. Also, it gives some statistics about GM foods. It talks about regulation of these foods by the government.
 

I think that organic foods are better for you than "other food." I don't really know why though..... its just like i see no difference but they sound healthier.
I don't really think it matters if the food has been genetically altered..... if it is food, its food, and you eat food to stay alive so i guess it doesn't really matter.
I think that we have the right to know if the foods we eat are organic or genetically modified, just because some people may just be paranoid and want a specific kind because they are afriad something bad will happen to them if not.
All i know is that corn is like the most common genetically modified crop.... so ill just stick with that.

This sight not only talks about GM foods but also other things like organisms too. It tells about them switching a gene to make it insect resistant. Also it gives the benifits and problems about GM foods.
 

1.Well i think that organic food is better for you. But sometimes all the bad stuff needs to be taken out so other food may be better at times.
2. I dont think my body gets upset if the food i eat isnt natural. I mean doesnt it have to take out the bad stuff of organic "natural" food anyway.
3.We definatlety have a right to know where our food came from. Escpecially if it could have harmful affects on our bodies.
4. The crops in grown by U.S. farmers are corn, cotton, soybeans, canola, squash, and papaya.
5. This website shows that organic isnt really better. It states that organic food doesnt even help with a profit.
 

1. Not necesarily, GM foods could contain more nutritions although people say natural is good. For me, it doesn't really matter, as long as it is delicious and isn't dangerous.

2.I personally don't think it matters but there is a chance of being allergic to unnatural foods.

3.Yes, although I don't care if it's GM I would feel better if I knew whether it was organic or GM. What if I'm allergic to GM foods and I can't which ones are organic and which ones are GM?

4.The most commonly modified are soybeans, rape and sweet corn.

5This website talks about the advantages, like cold and disease resistant plants, and the criticisms like the potential harm it poses to other organisms.
 

i think that organic foods are definitely better for you than genetically modified food. yes it does matters to your body. modified food is way not good for you. yes i think that we should know everything about the food we eat. soybeans are the most common genetically modified crops.

this site discusses the advantages and disadvantages of GM food. it also discuses whether it is good or bad 4 you.
 

my computer is having seizures (sorry for the lack of a biologically correct term) and it wont let me see the store wars and wont let me link to the sites. idk whats wrong so i need to do it first thing before 1st period starts on monday if thats alright.
 

1. I'm pretty sure that organic foods and GM foods are the equal in healtyness because they both have to be safe to eat and they can both be good or bad for you. For instance, organic bacon (cooked and drained) vs. GM bacon (cooked and drained.

2. Yes, I think it matters to my body if foods I eat are genetically modified because my body will most likely react differently to an organic taco, than a tacobell taco.

3. As a consumer, I strongly believe that we have the right to know if the food we buy is genetically altered because I would not buy (or encourage the purchase of) foods that require pesticides, such as methyl bromide or other pecticides that are dangerous to our environment and even us as humans.

4. Corn, tomatoes, potatoes, and squash are examples of some of the most commonly genetically modified foods.


5.8 WORST FOODS TO EAT

This webpage lists the eight foods that are the WORST for people to eat. it also numbers the calories and amount of fat per amount of the certain food. It also shows healthy alternatives for these foods.The foods it focuses on are
*Cola Drinks
*Sour cream and onion potato chips
*Store bought chocolate chip cookies
*Full-fat Cheeses
*Chocolate doughnuts
*Regular Bacon "yes regular
*Beef Hotdogs
and sadly, last--
*Chocolate Truffels =(

Although this is the sad truth(based on this information), I will try not to retain any of it in my mind, as not to feel pain when next I feel the sweet caressing embrace of the lavish delight that is a chocolate truffel against my tongue, which I have so longed for... =P
 

eat that alex!!!!!!!

aaaaaaaaand like 45 seconds too,
so HA!
 

Good morning !

It's Saturday !

1) theres no prrof that organic food is better for you then modified food.

2)yes, because the plants would be safer to eat but also, some chemicals put on plants cant be to good to eat over and over.

3)yes because, some people willl only eat organic food so they should know what to get or what they can get. i dont think people care is it says genetically modified because if they did theyd be looking at the organic food that already has lables on it.


4)oilseed rape ,corn, cotton , and soybeans

I think organic foods are definitely healthier and better than other foods. Your body probably functions slightly differently if the food we eat is geneticaally altered. We should, as consumers, have the right to know whether or not our food is organic and/or genetically modified, and the contents in the food. Soybean, corn, wheat, canola, and cotton seed oil are the plants that are derived from genetically modified foods. click here This site explains the meaning of "genetically modified" and includes issues including ethics, medicine, and the media.
 

duh! yes organic foods are better for u thanother food. this is because genetically altered foods are not natural and the body doesnt accept the processed food as easily into the body. as a consumer, we have the right to know what goes into our body because it can alter your lifestyle and we have a right to live how we wish. this goes for both organic and genetically modified food. oilseed rape, corn and soybeans are most commonly altered.

Organic foods are dfinately better FOR you, not always the best tasting.I believe that the it does matter to your body when you eat genetically altered food. Altered food causes allergies and organic food distinctly makes you feel better.
