In my opinion, I have many views on genetically modified crops. If it is modified it could be bad for you and harm you internally. Its basically fatty food vs a healthy food like salad from home vs cheese burger from McDonalds. I been eating many kind of food and most food I believe is modified in some way. From meat, vegetables, fruits, etc, however they are modified to last so we as humans can enjoy them to the fullest. I know Banana is one of those fruits that was modified because of diseases and Bananas are my favorite type of fruit.

I disagree with Greggor Ilagan,  because the only way you can only see negative things about G.M.O.s is when you look at the most popular sites that have that topic, the sites are arranged in the amount of visits. “But, supporters of the ban warned, scientists had not always correctly assessed the health and environmental risks of new technology”(G.M.Os article). As stated scientists had not been correct with the health and environmental risks of new technology, therefore G.M.O.s cant be always safe, there is going to be a day where someone die because of it or something close.

“The seed-producing biotechnology companies, which had backed a state measure to prevent local governments from regulating their activity”(G.M.Os Article). As stated, seed-producing biotechnology companies prevent local governments from regulating their activity, basically working in behind-the-scenes, and not let anyone outside know what is they are doing. If G.M.Os is safe why would they what they are doing a secret? What is there to hide about them? It could be hiding the true facts about G.M.Os.

“As the plantations faded in the 1980s, some began growing papayas. But after an outbreak of Papaya ringspot virus in the mid-’90s, only the Rainbow, endowed with a gene from the virus itself that effectively gave it immunity, had saved the crop, they told him”(G.M.Os Article). This conflicted with what Mr. Ilagan found, the genetically modified papaya was saved because it was endowed with a gene from the virus. Yet the modification is still bad. “Derek Brewer, 29, an Army veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan before coming to Hawaii to help found an eco-hostel. “We don’t fully understand genetics. Once you change something like this, there is no taking it back”(G.M.Os Article). As Sir Brewer said, once you changed it, there is no way to return it back to its originality.

As Mr. Ilagan experienced, there are both side to this G.M.O. thing. There are people who want to keep thing Natural, as non-genetically modified organisms, and there are some who thinks, G.M.O.s is the better, as they don’t go extinct. In the end the ban on G.M.O. was successful for the land of Hawaii, with 6-3.

Like the article says, the growing population and warming of the Earth, is using things so heavily. G.M.Os  is also the only way to sustain this growing population around the world, as we know it the world population is growing continuously. If all the food has gone extinct then the world would die of starvation because there isn’t enough food to supply the human race, animals, etc. They aren’t safe to the humans body because it causes the body to have antibiotics. In the end, G.M.O. have pros and cons, therefore G.M.O. is a neutral threat.
