Assignment

Food & Agriculture Field Study: GMOs For the Unit VIII scholarly activity assignment, you should perform some research into genetically modified foods. Go to the local supermarket or the local health foods store and find foods that are genetically modified. What did you find? How do you know, as a consumer, if you are eating engineered foods? Was it clearly marked? Does it matter? Why is there a debate over these foods? Should there be laws governing the production and labeling of GMOs? Explain. While you are at the local supermarket, choose three food items commonly consumed in the local area. Identify each food and where the items are produced - locally, regionally, or globally. How might this impact the local economy?
