Transgenic
Foods
International corporations
have been producing for years a large amount of herbicides for soy
producers use. This presents an incovenience for these producers. The
large dosages began to affect the soy plant.
These same herbicide production companies, to solve this problem start
to produce genetically modified seeds (soy) that had more tolerance
against the herbicides.
A DNA extract or a genetic
chain of a flour (petunia), a virus and a bacteria (Agrobacterium
Tumefaciens), a plant cancer causing parasite, were all added to
the traditional soy seed
This parasite genetic material, with the help from a promotor, produces
the mosaic coliflour virus, a soy protein that has never before been
included in a human diet. The farmer will notice how the transgenic soy
remains intact while the previous one is exterminated by the chemicals.
The market has a toxic corn against worms, their most traditional
plague; many tomatoe varieties have fish genes implanted in order to
prolongue their life in the supermarkets; beets have recieved other fish
antifreezing that will allow them to resist very low temperatures.
Genetically treated foods have been received very negatively.
Biotechnology companies argument will improve the environment by
modifying vegetables into plague poisons and changing seedīs genetic
designs in order to make them easier to cultivate. This will
therefore calm the worldīs hunger. Salmons three times larger are
available and hormones that multiply cows milk production also exist.
