OMG GMO The article from the biology news website is about bananas; genetically modified bananas to be specific. The bananas will be used in human trails to see their effects on us. Biology news.net claims that this is the first time such a trial will be conducted on humans. The reason why this trail is being conducted is to nourish, lift the wellbeing and health of millions of east Africans. In east Africa the banana is a staple of their cuisine, unfortunately the banana lacks the micronutrient vitamin A and iron. As distinguished professor James Dale, leader of the Queensland University of Technology project puts it “The consequences of vitamin A deficiency are dire with 650,000-700,000 children world-wide dying from pro-vitamin A deficiency each year and at least another 300,000 going blind.” It seems Professor Dale is doing his part to end world hunger. These bananas which have been planted in Australia will be shipped to the U.S. for the first human trail. The bananas look just like any other banana from the outside but inside they are orange because of all the vitamin A . There are already test fields being planted in Uganda after DR. Dale claims that “"Hundreds of different permutations went into field trials up north and we tested everything to make sure our science worked here in Queensland. Now the really high-performing genes have been taken to Uganda and have been put into field trials there." The bananas that are high performing will then be planted in several locations and the hope is to get these bananas planted in surrounding counties to feed generations. From reading this article one can take away that genetically modified food is a great thing and that feeding millions over generations is a fantastic thing. It seems as though we as a human race are one step closer to ending world hunger and improving overall quality of
