For our final paper I decided to stick with the same topic I worked on for the previous paper. I will continue to discuss GMOs. For this paper I’m going to target questions that discuss the safety of GMOs and questions that discuss why GMOs aren’t labeled. GMOs are a hot topic in our modern day. In this paper I’m going to take a stance that is against GMO, as I believe they should be banned entirely. Many people are beginning to shift away from GMOs. The main reason I chose this stance is because I feel like we should all know what is in our food. Since GMOs aren’t labeled, it leads me to question what exactly it is that we are eating. After incidences involving Subway and Krafts, I was persuaded against GMOs. Subway, for instance, altered their bread in order for it to have a longer shelf life. This stance is understandable from a economic standpoint. However, once I found out that the bread was made of elements that can be found in yoga-matts (from a health standpoint) I was completely turned away. This is a prime example of a big company that would do anything in order to make money. I feel like if a company like Subway would do this to their own consumers, then why wouldn’t other big companies do the same? My intended audience for this assignment is misinformed consumers. I’m going to take a more emotional route for this paper as I want to engage my audience emotionally. I feel that the audience would be easy to persuade after stating specific examples (such as the incident with Subway). If you ask the common person what a GMO is they would most likely not know. I feel that the common person would side against GMOs after appealing emotionally with them. I will address some studies that support GMOs, in order to testify against them with claims of my own and of sources. Pro GMO writers, like Jon Entine, would say that GMOs are good for society economically and he would state that there is no concrete research to prove against the health defects of them. Not all GMOs are bad for you, but how could there be any excuse for consumers (for example the consumers of Subway) to unknowingly eat substances found in a yoga-matt. In what way is eating a yoga-matt healthy? It is also believed that GMOs lead to some forms of cancers and I will definitely analyze the health defects frequently in my paper.
