Transgenic Food.

Hi today's topic is about one of the newest, controversial and most important biotecnology of the recent years, Transgenics.
In simple words, Transgenic, is put genes from one individual to another complete diferent individual.
Transgenics can be used in different areas of the biology, such as; farmacology, medicin, agronomy and veterinary. In pharmacology for example there is cows that produce human hormones in her milk.
This topic is about  Transgenic food, so then, I think that the people who are against transgenics, is because they dont have enough knowledge about it, in other words, ignorants.
Due to transgenics has many beneficial things, for example the production of  safety food and  the enviroment care, and there is not one single scientific proof of consequences of using transgenic food in the human health.
Nevertheless, scientist  has still  much to study about transgenics, specially about the posible consequences for the human health.
Also the goverment has much to do about control transgenic food, specially about food labeling, because the people has the right to know if the food is transgenic or not, so they can choose what kind of food eat.
Other important thing that the government has to control is the economic part, the posible monopolies and advantages they can get.
In conclusion, the transgenic food is very good to the people, is a strong tool to finish the hunger in the wolrd, to produce better  and safety food, to care the enviromental, but has to be made seriously, consequently, taken care of the great responsability of this biotecnology.



By the way, unless that  you produce your own food, everyone  all ready eat transgenic food, even those who are against transgenic, like the most of the vegetarians who like to eat, specially  soja foods.

  1. i belive lebeling is important too... but for the enviroment i'm not so sure about how good transgenic are.
    Some time transgenic pollen can get to natural plants population and that is very serious and if a plant species become contaminated with transgenic pollen is almost impossible to reverse the effect and the genetic pool of nature created organism is a treasure, created for millions of years.
