In Jon Entine’s article, “The Debate About GMO Safety is Over, Thanks to a New Trillion- Meal Study”, Entine is very biased towards genetically modified organisms as he makes his claim that they are completely safe. He attacks numerous claims that state that genetically modified foods cause health problems. He attacks writers that are against genetically modified foods, especially Jeffrey Smith. Entine refutes Smith’s claim, “Nearly every independent animal feeding safety study on GM foods shows adverse or unexplained effects,” he writes. “But we were not supposed to know about these problems…the biotech industry works overtime to try to hide them.” Entine quotes Smith in order to immediately testify against his claims. Entine goes on to state that there are no trustworthy claims towards the health defects of GMOs because from a logical standpoint animals consume 70-90 percent of GMO crops and because of this, if GMOs were not safe, farms around the world would be littered with dead and sick animals. Overall, the article is very pro genetically modified foods and their safety.
