Wonder Apples

                Another attempt at making genetically modified food has yet again gone wrong. This article shows some extremists against GMOs who decided to invade his apple farm and hack into some trees, although they must not have been very educated otherwise they would have realized that GMOs are not actually too much different from regular fruit, the trees they hacked into were actually just regular apple trees and not genetically modified, and they did not even hack into the trees properly and so caused no permanent damage. This is what we civilians call amateurs. This is like trying to write an angry email talking about how you want a refund because you smashed an Xbox but forgetting to hit send or even writing the letter in the first place.
 
                As an avid learner in AP Environmental Science, it teaches many facts about genetically modified foods and how they are not the least bit harmful to humans, but people who have their own beliefs about it refuse to accept it. If you want to talk about how it is a government conspiracy, well that is like saying anything could possibly be a government conspiracy, which is something I do not want to get into, but if you want to share one, I would love to hear about it.

Many nations are starving because of the lack of food, like Latvia and lack of potatoes, but will not accept genetically modified foods, which seems weird at first, but I can kind of understand it. I mean think about it, how many humans, in the seven billion we have on our planet, are willing to help someone without expecting someone in return? Not many. So if a complete stranger offers you a source of strange food randomly, I would be a little suspicious, partly because my parents told me not to take anything from strangers. Now these companies offering this kind of food would seem out of good will at first, but multinational companies want money right? So, once this country is completely reliant on this crop, hype up the price. They have no choice but to comply with the demand or to change their country's food completely. I am not saying every company is as evil as this, but it was just a thought. I still believe that genetically modified food has to be the solution because of the growing population, unless people want to abstain from sex, or might as well try and live on the sun.

  1. I agree that genetically modified food is a good solution to the growing problem of our constantly growing population. However, we could always colonize Mars or look for air pockets in the Earth that we could inhabit.
