The study did however find that consumption of the organic foods may help reduce exposure to antibiotic resistant bacteria as well as pesticide residuals. I was shocked by the results of this study. I believe the majority of people have always believed that organic foods are far healthier than conventional foods. Organic foods generally cost 20% more than the nonorganic varieties. A good question to ask yourself is whether or not it is worth it to pay the extra money for organic foods.
The idea that organic is better for the consumer and the environment is more of a mindset and not the truth. My purpose is to show the people who believe in organic products, that there are just as many down falls as conventional foods. Many people assume that organic foods are healthier, when in fact organic foods are more susceptible to carrying pathogenic bacteria, such as E. coli and salmonella. They also think that because organic farmers use natural pesticides rather than synthetic pesticides, it’s better for the environment. However, organic farmers are able to use a copper solution, which never leaves the soil, to fight fungal disease as where the conventional farmer use pesticides that are biodegradable.
No one can guarantee that how GMOs’ side effects will be long-term and continuous and proving safety is beyond the capabilities of current technology. Supporters of genetic engineering argue that the application of biotechnology to improve the nutritional contents of various foods will help people who suffer many deficiency diseases. Also, they claim that GM foods can yields medical benefit by injecting a particular genes or vaccine. However, GMOs are only a temporary measure, not the fundamental solution for nutritional improvement of foods and
Also damaging water reserves and soil quality.” In the world, scientists try to find the ways of Biotechnology for an harvesting more soybean, with not maximizing yield that causes bad influences to the environments. Paragraph 2: Scientists has developed Bt toxin and glyphosate for maximizing the yield without increasing the land of cultivation. Paragraph 2a: Bt is Bacillus thuringiensis which prevents from insects that eats crops and it occurs naturally. Bacillus thuringiensis is a common soilborne bacterium which produces crystals that kill insects when eaten. Bt is a spore forming bacterium and it produce a spore which is a cell that consists of a crystal protein within the spore.
This practice further contributes to the rapid increase in health problems among children today. As a result, unhealthy children become unhealthy adults. Kumanyika and Grier, report that minority children in low income communities see more unhealthy ads and have less healthy food options than their white well-to-do counterparts (2006). Minority children from low income families are most affected physically, psychologically, and emotionally by the marketing of unhealthy foods; to solve this problem companies must provide healthier food choices, marketers must advertise them, and parents must make the ultimate food decisions. Problems Minority children from low income families are negatively affected physically by the marketing of unhealthy foods.
Lastly, the stores that carry this company’s products are also affected. The ethical issues at hand involve false advertising, negatively impacting the health of children, and receiving bonuses based on harming others. Childhood obesity is currently a major issue. By gaining the attention and trust from parents who are looking for healthier breakfast choices for their children, this company is deliberately taking advantage of them. In the end, it is the children and their wellbeing that will be hurt the most.
More people can be fed at a lower cost when using factory farming, but it may not be worth the harm it causes the animals, our environment, and possibly our food. Factory farming started to be able to feed our growing population in a more cost effective way. It was great to be able to feed the growing population of the world in a quicker way than what was happening before. Along the way the treatment of the animals has gone down as well as the quality of the food. “Researchers concluded that the current animal food industry is quite simply unacceptable due to its effects on humans, the environment, and animals raised for food.
Ethical and moral issues associated with: Genetic Manipulation: Genetic Manipulation such as genetic engineering of foods is highly values amongst some people and seen as salvation as the land they live on cannot sustain productive growth. However some countries see it as a business benefiting Western Countries and refuse to accept such crops. Then there are some who believe the crops they grow and how they are grown is part of their culture and to change that would alter who they are. Some peoplerefuse to eat GM Foods as they are not ‘natural’ or may even cause harm. Truth is, yes bi companies make a lot of money from third world countries who can’t sustain their crop from floods and yes it may not seem like a natural food of source but it is altered in a way in which it is stronger and produces more nutrients for us to receive.
Some of these programs are SNAP(food stamps), government provided health care, utility assistance, and even checks from the government to help pay for your children. These are government expenses that could be reduced because they are often times abused in modern society. Limitation on having more children will cut government spending, reduce children born into low quality situations, and reduce teenage pregnancy chains. Government programs, such as food assistance and health care, can be very expensive, especially when more people are receiving it then paying taxes to fund them. Children of families that receive government assistance are more likely to have children as teenagers and are in turn are more likely to receive more government assistance because they are not financially stable.
This will result in improved, healthier lunches and breakfasts around the country. Although many healthy, nutritious foods may not be the tastiest, the government should impose restrictions on what kind of foods can be served in cafeterias because they choose foods that are nutritious for children, and more than one in three of children in the United States are obese and need to be healthier. What are the most delicious foods to students? Well, the foods that students enjoy eating the most may not be allowed to be severed at their lunch. This is due to the fact some of the most delicious foods are the unhealthiest.
