GMO- Friends or Foes?

 Alex Goncalves

GMO stands for genetically modified organism. It means splicing genetic material from one organism—say, a plant, animal, bacteria or virus—and transferring it to another. For commercially grown GMO crops in the U.S. There are different things that we would use GMOs like corn, sugar beets, cotton, and papaya, this usually means making crops resistant to pests, diseases and herbicides, which means not putting any chemical sprays on the crops. GMO pipeline are drought-resistant crops, fruit less susceptible to spoilage and soybeans with more beneficial omega-3s. This is great that we do not have to use all these horrible chemical sprays that kill use inside that is why I'm very excited for the next couple years with GMOs because that means our kids will not have to take all these chemicals that can lead to all these horrible viruses and diseases.

Finally, because GMO is so new we can still improve and make this and amazing invention it does have some down sides but over time it will get better and will help use all.
