Did you know
that 85% of all
the food you eat
everyday
contains G.M.O.s
that have
injected with
DNA from
bacteria and
viruses.

- Genes lie within chromosomes.

- Each chromosome contains a single long
molecule called DNA.
- A molecule of DNA may contain thousands of
genes.
- This information in a gene determines an
organism's genetic properties.

How Big is the Problem
- Is decreasing the rate
of pollinators in the area
of G.M.P.s
- Millions of animals are
either G.M.O.s or have
eaten a G.M.Plant

- It can have terrible
effects on the animals
Consumer's opinions on G.M.O.
s
"FEW Resources.org - Home." FEW Resources.org. N.p., 3 Mar. 2014. Web. 07 Apr. 2014.
-Even consumers don't like G.M.O.s.
Around 59%-60% of all consumers think G.M.
O.s bring only negative effects

- Humans as a race have always strived for the goal of

better food and more of it
- Humans have been trying for thousands of years to reach
this goal
-
- G.M.O.s is the example of that goal going too far

better?

-The rate of genetically modified soybeans
skyrocketed from 1996 to 2011.
-It went from 10% were modified to 85% are modified.
-Soybeans aren't the only problem. Over 80% of all
major crops contain G.M.O.s
- Sadly, it is getting worse.

What can be done?
- People are beginning
to help G.M.Animals.s live
with the side-effects.
- These people treat the animals to help
their bodies function.
- Thousands of people are revolting
against G.M.O.s in the community.

Why should you care?
- Animals are facing a life
of pain and suffering.
- People are getting sick
from failed attempts at
food
-How would you feel you
suffered from pain and
misery every day of your
life?
-A good way to help against
G.M.O.s is to make a sign
protesting them.
