September 5

The biotech food debate is one that until now was never something I thought about. There has been lots of research done by scientists, so now biotech foods are easily accessed in our everyday lives. I feel that science is too far along to stop the production of biotech foods. I am not necessarily one that wants to eat the biotech foods, but I don’t feel that the production should be stopped. The FDA has not stopped the production yet, so in some aspects, it may not be as bad as everyone thinks. Since there is some concern over health value with these foods, it should be required that each food is labeled biotech or not. Having each food labeled, allows each consumer to make the decision for his or her self and it puts no one at risk for eating biotech foods that may harm him or her in some way.

I'm surprised that with how much your family cooks and with how often food is discussed, that you have never before thought about this issue. Now that you have thought about it though, I agree with some of your statements regarding that you would not necessarily want to eat it, but that it should still probably be produced. I think it's nice that you took some information from both the add and the comic to create your argument.
