Article Writing Homework Help

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Labeling genetically modified food. It needs to be at least 1500 words. However, plans are already underway to make labeling of genetically modified food mandatory. This intention became apparent through the introduction of two bill in senate. the HR 3377 and S 2080-Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act, according to Teisl et al. (par. 2).

In the United States, certain crops are commonly modified genetically during processing. Some of the products that are genetically modified in while growing include cotton, corn, canola, and soybean. However, the controversy comes in because most processed food products in the U.S. contain either corn or soybean ingredients. As such, it is estimated that about 70 percent of processed foods in America contain genetically modified ingredients. This raises a lot of concerns from those who are opposed to genetically modified food because of their impacts on health and the environment, thus calling for the implementation of a right to know policy through labeling of such products. The current labeling law according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires labeling of genetically modified foods to be made only when the product in question has a new allergen, different nutritional properties, or if the food is too much intoxicated (Albert and Tufts University 5).

As earlier stated, there are two camps with one advocating for the mandatory labeling of genetically modified foods by all food processors while the other camp does not find any merit of doing so (Carter and Gruere Par. 2). Proponents claim that every consumer in the U.S. has a right to be provided with enough information regarding the ingredients contained in the food they eat, particularly those that have raised health and environmental concerns. This is because they feel that some of these foods may be detrimental to their health and the environment (Teisl et al. par. 2).
