GMOs: Friends or Foes?
In one short hour I will be doing the last graded assignment before my Spring Break begins!!! This assignment is a debate presentation for a GenEd class called Sustainable Environments. I will be arguing in favor of Genetically Modified Organisms ( hence the James and the Giant Peach pic to the right) from an Agricultural/ Environmental perspective. As a tour guide, I love to talk ( in case you couldn’t tell from reading my blog). Thus I have the opposite problem of most people when giving presentations in that I talk too much! The presentation is only supposed to last five minutes and every time I’ve tried it I end up getting so into the information that it takes me closer to 10. Whoops!
I’ve learned all kinds of really cool stuff about GMOs since being given this assignment. Before, I had a totally negative perspective on people tampering with my food at all- but I’ve actually learned there are some really cool things that can be achieved with Genetically Modified Organisms, like more sustainable farming practices, bioremediation capabilities, and more. That’s one of the cool things about GenEd classes- they really do give you useful insight into real world issues that are affecting you.
Anyway, hope I didn’t bore you with my shpeel about Giant Peaches.. but that’s what I’m thinking about right now!! Expect some exciting Spring Break posts in the very near future!!
