Ann Ereline, senior journalist for The Oregonian, found while researching GMOs that currently, more than 80% of the corn, cotton, soybean, and sugar beet crops in the nation are modified to be resistant to insects, pesticides, and drought (1). According to independent lawyer and former executive with a leading independent laboratory that tests GMOs, Jeffrey Smith, the major benefits of GMOs are the ability to produce plants that are drought-resistant and pesticide-resistant (217). Companies such as Monsanto, Coca Cola, General Mills, Kellogg, and Ocean Spray, are all among those who are in favor keeping GMOs legal and have contributed money against labeling (Smith 217). As large corporations have expanded the manufacturing and growth of GMOs, a fast-growing number of consumers, and other groups, have started standing up and fighting against genetically altered organisms that can be found in vast amounts of food that are consumed everyday around the world. Furthermore, concerns of GMOs effects on the long-term overall health and the environment are gaining popularity. While there may be economic benefits to growing genetically modified crops, consumers have a right to know if there are negative health and environmental risks from them. In order to protect the environment and health of individuals, regulatory standards of mandatory labeling of genetically modified organisms must be required. To understand the human and environmental risks of GMOs, knowing the history and the genetic process is important. The research of genetically altering organisms began in the 1970s, but the technology was not incorporated into the agricultural industry until the 1990s (Ereline 2). Genetically modified foods first appeared in the marketplace in fruits and vegetables. Ronnie Cumming and Ben Lilliston, leading consumer advocates, describe “a genetically modified food is a plant or animal that has been modified at the genetic level to enhance the desired traits (15). Some of these desired traits are increased resistance to herbicides, insects, and improved nutritional content. The enhancement of these desired traits has traditionally been undertaken through cross-breeding; however, conventional plant cross-breeding methods are often very tedious and proved not very accurate. Genetic engineering, on the other hand, can create plants or animals with the exact desired trait very rapidly, and with great accuracy. This is done by isolating a gene within the plant or animal that is responsible for the trait that is being modified and replacing it with a gene from another plant or animal that does the job better (Cummins and Lilliston 15.) The material comes from a species that would not otherwise be found mixed with the plants’ natural state or in an animals’ traditional breeding. A simplified example of the GMO process would be to insert genes from an animal into a fruit or vegetable (Ereline 2). To produce these GMOs, scientists now utilize gene guns (equipment for injecting cells with genetic information), promoters (the chemical switches), and bacterial vectors (a DNA molecule that aids in transferring the genetic material) (Cummins and Lilliston 15). Crops are generally modified so they gain resistance to conditions that would otherwise kill the crops or slow down the cultivation process. With an understanding of the history of GMOs and the genetic process, equally important are the impacts GMOs are having on an individual’s health. Although GMOs have been questioned since they have been added to the agricultural market, in recent years a growing number of people have been avoiding them or advocating for their ban. In her article in Better Nutrition, Nutritionist Melissa Diane Smith discusses many of the reasons that consumers have started to shy away, or ditch GMOs all together (64). To start, many people do not want to eat food that has been genetically or artificially changed; just want to eat pure and natural food. Secondly, the seeds of genetically engineered crops can easily be carried through the air and spread to areas of non-GMO or organic crops in what is called out-crossing (Smith 64). Jonathan Adler, independent attorney, explained that when out-crossing occurs, GMO genes mix with regular or organic crops giving those crops GMO abilities (Adler 3). Since GMOs were first brought into the food industry, research has shown the negative effects that genetically engineered food can have on one’s health. Shelly Stonebrook, editor-in-chief of Mother Earth News points out that over the last 40 years, leading GMO seed producer, Monsanto, has been assuring everyone that its RoundUp herbicide (the chemical which is used on GMO crops) glyphosate product is safe (16). Furthermore, the herbicides that are used on GMOs stay on the crops even after they are harvested, which end up being in our food. To arrive at this conclusion, independent scientist and consultant Anthony Samsel and MIT researcher Stephanie Seneff evaluated urine tests on random people in eighteen countries in order to find out if glyphosate could be found in the body (1416). The results came back showing that forty-four percent of people tested did have the chemical glyphosate in their urine (Samsel and Seneff 1450). That is an unsettling thought considering that most people would not willingly want to ingest chemicals that are used to kill weeds into their bodies. In the United States, RoundUp is often even used in home gardens or yards to kill weeds; however, it is typically locked up, or at least kept out of reach of children. A report from The Massachusetts Institute of Technology in April of 2013 found that glyphosate could be connected to multiple unfavorable health problems that affect the cellular systems throughout the body, slowly over time (Samsel and Seneff 1436). These health effects include cancers, infertility, inflammatory bowel disease, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and cystic fibrosis (Samsel and Seneff 1451). Another study in Canada found that in pregnant woman, ninety-three percent were found to have glyphosate in their blood and eighty percent of the babies of the same women had the toxins in their umbilical cords (Samsel and Seneff 1440). Furthermore, another concern regarding GMOs and the risks for humans is with gene mixing. When genes from different species are mixed, it may lead to humans developing a new food allergen, having a severe allergic reaction, or causing an unforeseen consequence on the human digestive tract (Samsel and Seneff 1443). One of the leading allergens humans have today is to peanuts. With gene mixing, people will not know what they are really eating until after they have consumed GMOs. This is a valid concern for humans, because allergensmay arise in the GMO process of transferring genes to a food product, altering the degree to which that product causes an allergic reaction in people. With these types of unknowns about GMOs there could be a real public crisis that occurs (Samsel and Seneff 1447). Now empowered with the information and knowledge regarding the ill effects GMOs have on human health, it is time to turn the focus to what the environmental effects from GMOs are. One major environmental concern that has been linked to GMOs is outcrossing. Outcrossing is the possibility of specific GMO genes mixing with regular crops’ DNA giving them GMO ability to be herbicide resistant (Alder 2). This could be fatal to the environment since unwanted plants like weeds can get the GMOs gene and develop herbicide resistance genes that would allow it to spread and compete with other crops leading to crop and plant loss (Alder 3). Even though farmers of GMO crops have decreased the use of insecticides, they continue to increase the use of herbicides (particularly weed-killing) as weeds become more resistant to the modified genes. People who produce GMo crops use 28 percent more herbicides than people who produce non-GMO crops (Samsel and Seneff 1425). One example of outcrossing was conducted by research scientist Joanna Sax and Neal Doran. According to Sax and Doran:Outcrossing occurred when Scotts Miracle-Gro, which genetically engineered bentgrass to contain a gene that confers resistance to a common herbicide so that golf courses could be sprayed to kill weeds without harm to the grass. The researchers confirmed the presence of the herbicide resistant gene in wild grass up to 9 miles from its origin only one year after the grass was planted. (641)This substantiates the consumers concern about GMO plants and their effect on non-GMO plants ability to maintain a pure state. Environmentally, the production of GMO crops is resulting in an increase of pesticide and herbicide use, which is harming the surrounding environment (Sax and Doran 630). Weeds and other plants can develop resistances to the herbicide hindering its performance (Sax and Doran 633). As these chemicals are increasingly used, more herbicide resistant weeds and insects have become prominent in farming regions. The stronger and higher doses of these herbicide repellents will have a significant negative impact on the surrounding environment (Sax and Doran 637). These herbicide resistant insects and weeds not only damage genetically modified crops, but also non-genetically modified crops. With the increase of herbicide use to counter the weed and insects that are becoming resistant to its effects, non-GMOs crops are dying at a higher rate (Sax and Doran 642). Having read such compelling examples of how GMOs are affecting the environment, it is important to understand the ongoing debate of labeling GMOs. Professors at Iowa State University Carmen Bain and Tamera Dandachi maintain that in the recent years there has been an increase in health-related issues in the United States due to the consumption of genetically modified foods (9468). As a result of this increase, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has proposed a new set of rules that focuses on labeling foods that are processed using genetically modified ingredients (Bain and Dandachi 9468). Furthermore, Editor of Food Navigator-USA ​​Elaine Watson, declares:By 2020, all food processors will be required by law to use labels on their processed GMO foods. However, in the final GMO labeling rule, the USDA shares that it will not mandate the labeling of highly refined ingredients from GM crops if no ‘modified genetic material’ is detectable, but it will allow manufacturers to make voluntary disclosures on such products in the interests of transparency. (2) With all this confusion from the USDA, the safety of GMOs remains to be a concern for Americans. Currently, many food processors have already begun voluntarily placing NO GMO labels on their products when marketing. For GMO labeling to be effective, and for the consumer to be informed, laws need to be in place that require the food companies to include scientific information regarding genetically modified organisms on the all food labels (Adler 4). After reflecting on the importance of requiring labels on all GMOs, there is a large population that supports the production and use of GMOs regardless of the ill effects on humans. Supporters of GMOs share that GMOs have been developed and distributed for years and there has not been any study or research that has proven that GMOs are dangerous to human health. David Rotman, Editor of MIT Technology Review, attests that for scientists to genetically add protein, calcium, or folate to certain plants making them more nutritional for consumers is a benefit to human health and not a risk (30). Likewise, Rotman asserts that “GMOs do not cause an increase in food allergens, or irritate the digestive tract” (32). Adding these types of nutrients to GMO food is a great way to improve many people’s diets (Rotman 35).            An equally important benefit of GMOs on the environment is the innovations and applications of genetically modified plants that have been designed to fight back against soil and groundwater pollution. This process of cleaning the soil with plants and trees is known as phytoremediation. Phytoremediation is done by planting a large plant or tree that is capable of cleaning any dirty soil. The genetic modification comes in when the ability to clean the soil is mixed with a large plant that has long roots for better cleaning ability. Carmina Gisbert, a research professor at Arizona State University and her team provide an example of the use of phytoremediation (13). The team conducted a study in 2003 using tobacco plants ( Gisbert14). Gisbert and her research team were able to prove that GMO tobacco plants did remove more lead out of the soil than non-GMO tobacco plants (Gisbert 14). Therefore, this is a clear example of how GMO plants can help clean the environment. If the claim is that pesticide resistant crops are leading to an increase use to control super weeds, innovations such as the tobacco plants could be used to provide the same safe benefit for our environment. Additionally, there is good argument that labeling of all genetically modified or engineered food need not be required. Current research on GMO food suggests that they are safe to eat (Rotman 32). The FDA has safety requirements imposing a clear legal duty on farms to market safe foods to consumers regardless of the process that the food is created. According to Robert Fraley, Executive VP for Montesano, in his “We’re Willing” speech, he shares that, “in 20 years of commercial use, there has not been one single food issue that has been associated with GMO technology, and for good reason: It’s safe” (3). Furthermore, Fraley shares, “what people should be worried about is the actual product and not necessarily the process” (2). There is no value for making health conscious decisions based on labeling of GMO food. Lastly, the consumer has a free GMO option already, Organic food. Organic food options already provide a choice for consumer which negates the need to spend money regulating or requiring mandatory labels for GMO products.            In contrast, it seems that GMO supporters do not want consumers to know the truth about GMO food. If GMO food supporters claim that GMO ingredients are safe for human consumption, then why do the companies spend so much money to defeat labeling? Supporters claim that GMO foods will not cause cancer or allergic reaction, but the short-term research suggests differently. It has been proven that RoundUp’s main chemical glyphosate has been linked to several human health issues. Let us remember the research tests conducted by Samsel and Seneff that proved by a urine tests that confirmed glyphosate was indeed in our system from the consumption of GMOs (1450). Gene mixing is another leading concern for human health. When genes from different species are mixed, it may lead to humans developing a new food allergen, having a severe allergic reaction, or causing an unforeseen consequence on the human digestive tract. As a matter of fact, major environmental issues still remain from GMOs. For example, RoundUp continues to wreak havoc on the environment by creating super weeds that are unmanageable. The ability to maintain pure non-GMO plants from cross pollination and outcrossing is nearly impossible to sustain (Sax and Doran 652). Therefore, regardless of what the supporters are saying, consumers have a right to know of the negative health and environmental effects of GMOS. Furthermore, in order to protect the environment and health of individuals, regulatory standards of mandatory labeling of genetically modified organisms must be required. In conclusion, after explaining all of the ill effects GMOs are having on individual health and the environment, it is clear we must have a call to action requiring that labels be placed on all GMO products. In reflection, it seems as if the government is attempting to introduce GMO labeling, but the food industry is still able to pick and choose what information they provide to consumers, and to make the labels more appealing and less alarming to consumers. For GMO labeling to be effective, and for the consumer to be informed, laws are needed to require the food companies to include scientific information regarding genetically modified organisms on the food label (Adler 2). Thanks to media, more and more people are becoming informed about GMO, and the debate on labeling is growing. Some people do not realize how long this debate has been going on, but due to the attention it has recently received, they are now more concerned than ever (Smith 64). It is the responsibility of every human to stand up to the large corporations who are stopping the requirement of labels on GMO products. We must protect our right to know what we are consuming and save our environment. The movement from voluntary labeling of GMOs to required labeling of all GMOs needs to happen.
