Genetically engineered foods in consideration to the Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan several educative topics emerge. For the writing, therefore, resort to establishing a new approach to the evaluation of the topics entertained in the book. There has been a need to increase the performance standards for the current population. There are numerous ways of doing that; however, the most common way is the use of the genetically engineered foodstuffs. The foodstuffs offer different advantages and disadvantages in a similar ratio. The scientist s contends the developed seeds and the plants parts do not suit the environment as the natural as seeds do.
There are incidences under the newly developed organisms turn to be poisonous to other organisms. This may facilitate the extinction of some varieties or the species in the ecosystem. This is experimental if a developed food to mankind exhibits poisonous traits to certain insects. This may be a trait that the scientist attempts to improve pesticide resistance and many other properties. The consumers of the GMO products have argued that the products lack the proficient or “natural” of the food. This indicates that the food is either bitter or sweeter than expected. In the other case, they are tasteless. This shows that they only fill the stomachs in case of the consumption while there is no satisfaction derived from it. However, most of the varieties have the improved resistance to the crop pests and other disease. There are fears that the crops may cross-pollinate with other natural crops, and the outcome is in uncertainty. This portrays the difficulty encountered in controlling the reproductively especially of the free field crops. The technology is significant in reducing the overall cost of doing farming.
There are few requirements in the inputs than the natural farming techniques. This is because the fertilizer use and application of the pesticides may be pertinent to the process. The organic varieties developed have admirable qualities of performing under undesirable conditions. They can perform exceedingly dry places like the deserts and the semi arid areas. While there is spread of the precise resistant crop diseases and the weeds the in this technology, there are the expectations of high yields. The technology gives the farmers more hope as than the normal farming. In many parts of the world that is still fear to adopt this method there is intense poverty grip to those who participate in farming. This is especially the small scale farmers. The technology supports the agribusiness that is significant in uplifting the economy of any given country. The un argues that in applying the method of agriculture, there is relevant reduction in the size of the fields engaged in the farming due to it large productivity per acreage.
This in finality encourages the forestation and reforestation to the unused track of the land. Sharp criticism originates in the evidences that the GMOS initiate and cause certain diseases. People have linked the cancer or malignant tissue related disease to the GMOS in the past. Though more researches are in continuity, there is fear which if proved true then it is noteworthy that mankind looks for other new ways than GMOS. The USA is the largest producer of the GMO foods. Most parts of the world consumed the food unknowingly in programs such as donations. However, the idea stands for more debate and supply of facts. The investments in technology involve large firms and companies. This interprets the financial investment of the technology not ignoring the laboratory research works.
