How to take action on GMO controversy?
1. Stay informed! Seek out factual, unbiased information📝🤔
2. Stay out of heated debates that center around stereotypes🚫
3. Respect all perspectives! Some people choose to eat organic, while others do not have that choice. Stay educated📚
One factor that plays into the GMO debate is privilege. Being able to choose organic foods can directly relate to class, especially when compared with countries such as Kenya and India who do not even have the option to turn down technology that could benefit their practices. (1)
The GMO debate stems larger than simply what’s labeled on your grocery store shelves. GMOs can be a tool to combat environmental crises (such as breaking down chemicals that cannot be broken down naturally) and work to resolve global hunger. 🌍🌽👩👧👦
