Transgenics

A GMO or Genetic Modifie Organism it’s a life form altered by the human to make it stronger at a specifically or different pathogen or climates, in order to increases the productivity of a farm or forestry plantation making them cheaper, also can be altered the size of a vegetal, prevent seed´s expression or made another changes that may be attractive to people. This can be made by selective reproduction of the specimens with the characteristic that they want, or altering the specific genetic information. There is not problem in forestry to try both ways to get a better specimen because their uses are construction and ornamental, but transgenic food have a lot of problems, because there’s a lot of studies about disease produces by this kind of food,  most related to cancer. Some scientist defend this transgenic and have their own studies about it, but there are more proves about the disease.

As a forester, I can´t make a judgment about transgenic food, because It´s not my area of work, but I can make my opinion as a consumer: transgenics are a bad choice, even in the taste, natural vegetals are better, you can see the difference between a real fruit with strong taste and a chance to decompose and a “plastic” fruit.
