How big companies are being layers about what exactly their products contain and what side effects they might have for our children. Since 2001 Gerber one of the most trusted companies of babies’ food was bought for Nestle, a company that has a very wide collection of babies’ food ingredients. Even though people consider Nestle an organic and natural company; they use moderated GMO. Gerber is now out of the list of GMO’s free babies’ food; due to it many mothers are now questioning these two companies. First of all, let’s have a short explanation about GMO food (genetically modified organism) this are food that are delivered to us with an alteration in their DNA and not in a natural way. This innovation was bought to the market in the 1990’s to help duplicate the profit of the factories and is use in soy bean, corn, and canola. In 2006 a pig was engineered to produce omega-3 fatty acid trough this new innovation gene. Of course critics came out right away.
To begin, Gerber now out of the free GMO food is trying to come with this new organic product that contain basically the same amount of sodium that the regular does. Gerber babies’ food to be specific, cans organic food has a 60 % of sodium while the regular has a 75 % of it. The question here is what makes this particular organic food different from the GMO food? There is no difference because women should not be feeding their child with a lot of sodium. This mineral (sodium) taken in a high dose can lead to a child as an adult to suffer one of the most dangerous illness in the USA which is High Blood pressure and any other disease related to cardiovascular disease. That’s why it’s important to watch out our children diets.
On the other hand, recent researches have shown in china how an economical crisis has become with agricultural workers due to the number of food production with the GMO. The association of green revolution didn’t stay apart of this matter. It is incredible how plants and animals are being modified to resist pets and disease even though agricultural biotechnology has been growth rapidly. We all know that china is one of the biggest places for agricultural workers because of the high population that they have not letting everyone of them get better jobs. In china genetically engineering is seen as improvements for the economy of the country. Agricultures do not see it like that. They think they are taking away their jobs.
To conclude, women as mothers have to understand that giving children genetically modified or high minerals food are exposing their children to suffer conditions that may not have cure or may not be able to be treated on time.
