/sci/ - Science & Math

Hey /sci/, I need your help. I'm in the process of writing a college English paper on the negatives of genetically modified organisms (both environmental and on human health). I need some good facts, preferably with sources. I need a little bit from both sides.

The paper is due in three hours.

I promise to stay off this board if I get some help.

Thanks friends.

So /sci/, my mother recently started working for a company that sell organic, all natural, etc. foods. Which means she's constantly going on and on about all the bad shit that people are doing to food. I'm coming to you to get the facts. So far, all I can tell about where she's wrong is GMO's. I GMO's are good (not that I'd tell her), but everything else she says is bad really is bad. There are a couple things I'm on the fence about, however.
-High Fructose Corn Syrup (my research says it's no worse than any other sugar).
-GMO's, pesticides, and "chemicals" are causing the increase in food and latex allergies.
So tell me, /sci/, what is actually wrong with our food? Actually, to make things go faster, what's right with out food that people are saying is wrong?

Dear /sci/

Why do people hate genetically modified foods? What is so wrong with modifying genes of, say cows for example, to make them fatter for more meat yield?
