SriPallavi Yendamuri 2A

At this event I was able to talk about Organic and GMO vegetables. I first learned that many kids do not know the difference between GMO and Organic vegetables. They were educated on the fact that Organic vegetables are the better vegetables and safer for the environment. This is true because organic vegetables do not have genes of other species put into them which makes them less harmful to the human body. Some of the other controversies that are going on between Org and nonorg are should they be labelled. I personally think they should be; because the consumer should know what they are getting and eating. A reason people tend to lean towards GMOs-as I talked with a few parents- are because they cost less and there is no hard core evidence that these veggies and fruits are harming them. People lead towards organic vegetables because they are easy to grow in your backyard and usually if you buy them at the store you are supporting your local businesses which would help our local economy.
