factory farmz
Animals live like this on factory farms.
-crowded
-unclean
-often covered in their own feces
so much of our industrial food turns out to be
IT'S CORN *insert corn kid*
The goal of the poison squad was
To expose the harmful additives in our foods
high fructose corn syrups are harmful and lead to
heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and an unhealthy relationship with food
how many years was the mcdonalds in the closet...
The goal of factory farms or CAFOS is.
fast production with low cost to the company
money money money
The term GMO means
Genetically modified organisms
Poisoned their food
Most of the processed food we eat contains this key ingredient (tricks our brains that we are not full)
high fructose corn syrup
answers will vary- but should be about the harmful additives to food and personal supplies
This is an example of what would happen to animals on factory farms
Chickens are debeaked (there beaks are removed)
Broiler chickens are genetically modified to have larger breasts since humans prefer breast meat
Cows are grown without horns in order to pack them closer together
Pigs are detailed because they end up biting each others tails off due to frustration
GRASS!
Dr. Harvey Wiley is known as the father of the..
FDA
food and drug administration
A positive of GMOs could be
longer shelf lives which means less cost for the consumer
ketchup from the UK is free of this additive
HFCS
CAFO stands for
concentrated animal feeding operations
Barbara Kowalcyk’s son suffered from this and ended up dying
E. Coli poisoning
some of the side effects Harvey would observe from his volunteers
nausea
kidney problems
vomiting
diarrhea
A negative of GMOs could be
Change an organism (living thing) in a way that would not have occurred naturally
Scientists may often mix genes together
That can cause unexpected allergic reactions
Cause harder to get rid of invasive species
Antibiotic resistance
