looking red tomato and you think it has probably been on the

vine the longest, but in fact almost all tomatoes found in super

markets are picked when they are green and then injected with

red dye to make them appear healthy. The milk you buy has come

from a cow that has been altered to produce more milk. The

bigger chicken breasts at the store come from a genetically altered

chicken to make more breast meat for consumers. This is what

society has come to, altering animals and natural vegetation for

consumers. When testing with living creatures where do people

give room for genetic fail and mishap. Genetic engineering of

plants and animals should be left to nature to take its toll instead

of the hands of the irrational scientists.

Genetically engineered agriculture is not beneficial enough

to do good in today's society. I must agree with John Keehn a

freelance writer in New York who quotes "No one really knows

what effect splicing in...other genes into a plant would have" (74).

While many of today's " super foods" ar

engineering was supposed to create a super pig in which it would
