Kunyangwe iwe uchizviziva kana kuti kwete, pane mukana wakanaka wekuti iwe udye majini anogadziriswa (kana maGMO) zuva rega rega. Grocery Manufacturer's Association inofungidzira kuti zvikamu makumi manomwe kusvika makumi masere kubva muzana zvezvokudya zvedu zvine zvinhu zvakagadzirwa nemajini.

Asi izvi zvekudya zvakajairika zvavewo dingindira remakakatanwa mazhinji achangopfuura: Muvhuvhu chete uno, Chipotle akaita misoro apo pavakazivisa kuti chikafu chavo chakagadzirwa nezvose zvisiri zveGMO. Nekudaro, iyo nyowani yekirasi-yekumhan'ara mhosva yakamiswa kuCalifornia muna Nyamavhuvhu 28 inoratidza kuti zvataurwa naChipotle hazvina huremu nekuti cheni iyi inopa nyama uye zvigadzirwa zvemukaka kubva kumhuka dzinodyiswa maGMOs pamwe nezvinwiwa zvine GMO manyuchi echibage, seCoca-Cola.

Sei vanhu vakakwira mumaoko nezveGMOs? Tiri kusimudza muvharo pane izvo zvine nharo chikafu. (Tsvaga: Ndeaya maGMO matsva here?)

1. Nei Vachivapo

Iwe unonyatso kuziva here? "Kazhinji, tinoziva ruzivo rwevatengi rweGMO rwakaderera," anodaro Shahla Wunderlich, Ph.D., purofesa wehutano uye hutano sainzi paMontclair State University anodzidza magadzirirwo ezvekurima. Heino scoop: A GMO yakagadziridzwa kuti ive nehunhu hwaisazouya nayo yega (munguva zhinji, kumira nemishonga yesora uye/kana kugadzira mishonga yezvipembenene). Kune zvakawanda zvinogadzirwa nemajini kunze uko-synthetic insulin inoshandiswa kurapa chirwere cheshuga varwere ndiwo muenzaniso mumwe chete.

Zvisinei, maGMO anonyanya kuzivikanwa mune zvekudya. Tora Roundup Ready Corn, semuenzaniso. Yakagadziridzwa kuitira kuti ikwanise kurarama nekusangana nemishonga inouraya sora rakatenderedza. Chibage, soya, uye donje ndizvo zvinonyanya kugadzirwa nemagene-hongu, tinodya donje mumafuta ekotoni. Kune zvimwe zvakawanda, kunyange zvakadaro, zvakadai secanola, mbatatisi, alfalfa, uye sugar beet. (Ona runyoro rwakakwana rwezvirimwa zvakapfuura muster weUSDA kubva muna 1995.) Sezvo zvakawanda zvezvokudya izvozvo zvichishandiswa kugadzira zvinhu, zvakadai semafuta esoya kana shuga kana cornstarch, simba razvo rekupinda mukati mezvokudya zvakakura. Makambani anogadzira maGMOs anowanzoita nharo kuti chinhu chinodiwa-chekupa vanhu vari kuwedzera pasirese, tinofanirwa kushandisa zvakanyanya munda wepurazi watinayo, anodaro Wunderlich. "Zvimwe unogona kuburitsa zvimwe, asi isu tinonzwa sekunge vanofanirwa kutsvaga dzimwe nzira," anodaro Wunderlich. (PS Izvi zvinomwe Zvinongedzo Zviri Kukubira Iwe Zvekuvaka.)

2. Kana Vakachengeteka

Chikafu chinoshandurwa nemageneti chakarova masherufu ezvitoro muma '90s. Kunyangwe izvo zvikaita senge nguva refu yapfuura-mushure mezvose, kufungidzira kwemakumi gumi kuri musimba-hakuna kumbove kwakaringana kuti masayendisiti anyatso kuona kana kudya maGMO kwakachengeteka. "Kune zviriko zvinhu zvakati wandei zviri kutaurwa nevanhu, kunyangwe pasina 100 muzana humbowo," anodaro Wunderlich. "Imwe ndeyekuti pane mukana wekuti maGMO anogona kukonzera kusagadzikana mune vamwe vanhu; imwe yacho ndeyekuti vanogona kukonzera cancer." Kutsvakurudza kwakawanda kunodiwa, anodaro Wunderlich. Zvizhinji zvezvidzidzo zvakaitwa mumhuka, kwete vanhu, zvakadyiswa zvirimwa zvakagadziridzwa, uye mhedzisiro yave ichipokana. Imwe ongororo yakadzvanywa muna2012 nevaongorori vekuFrance yakaratidza kuti imwe mhando yechibage cheGMO yakakonzera tumota mumakonzo. Chidzidzo chakazobuditswazve nevapepeti venyaya yekutanga iyo yakaburitswa muna, Kudya uye Chemical Toxicology, vachizvitaura sezvisina chokwadi kunyangwe tsvakiridzo yacho isina hutsotsi kana kumiririra zvisirizvo kwedata.

3. Kwaungavawana

Skena masherufu pachitoro chako chaunofarira, uye pamwe uchaona zvimwe zvigadzirwa zvichiburitsa iyo isiri-GMO Project Verified Seal. . Chero chipi zvacho chinotakura iyo USDA Organic chitambi zvakare haina GMO. Nekudaro, iwe hausi kuzoona zvakapesana-zvinyorwa zvichizarura izvo ipapo vari zvigadzirwa zvakagadziriswa mukati. Vamwe vanhu vanoda kusandura izvozvo: Muna 2014, Vermont yakapasisa mutemo wekunyora maGMO wakarongwa kuti utange kushanda muna Chikunguru 2016-uye parizvino ndimo uri pakati pehondo huru yedare. Zvichakadaro, iyo U.S. House of Representatives yakapasisa bhiri muna Chikunguru iyo yaizobvumidza, asi isingade, makambani kuti anongedze zvigadzirwa zvakagadziriswa muzvigadzirwa zvavo. Kana ikapasiswa neSeneti uye ikasainwa kuita mutemo, inosimudzira chero mitemo yenyika-kuuraya kuedza kweVermont kuda kunyorwa kweGMO. (Izvo zvinotisvitsa ku: Ndezvipi Zvinonyanya Kukosha pane Chikafu Chemavara (Kunze KwemaCalori).)

Mukushaikwa kwekunyorera, chero munhu anotarisa kunzvenga maGMOs anotarisana nehondo yekukwira: "Iwo akaoma zvikuru kudzivisa zvachose nekuti akapararira," anodaro Wunderlich. Imwe nzira yekudzikisa mikana yako yekudya chikafu chakagadziridzwa ndeyekutenga zvirimwa zvinorimwa munharaunda kubva kumapurazi madiki, zvine hungwaru, anodaro Wunderlich. Mapurazi makuru anokwanisa kukura maGMOs, anodaro. Uyezve, chikafu chinorimwa munharaunda kazhinji chinovaka muviri nekuti chinotorwa kana chaibva, zvichichipa nguva yekugadzira zvinhu zvakanaka senge antioxidants. Mombe nedzimwe mhuka dzinogona kupihwa chikafu cheGMO-kana iwe uchida kuzvidzivirira izvo, tsvaga nyama yakasikwa kana yehuswa.

4. Zvinoitwa Nedzimwe Nyika Nezvavo

Heino nyaya apo America iri kuseri kwerukoko: Zvisikwa zvakagadziridzwa zvakanyorwa munyika makumi matanhatu nenomwe. Semuenzaniso, iyo European Union (EU) yakave nezvinodikanwa zvekunyorera GMO kweanopfuura makore gumi. Kana zvasvika kune maGMO, nyika idzi "dzinongwarira uye dzine mitemo yakawanda," anodaro Wunderlich. Kana genetically modified ingredient yakanyorwa pazvokudya zvakaputirwa, inofanira kutangirwa nemashoko okuti "genetically modified." Iyo yega yekusara? Chikafu chine isingasviki 0.9 muzana yezvinhu zvakagadziriswa. Nekudaro, mutemo uyu hauna vasina vatsoropodzi: Mune razvino bepa rakaburitswa mu Maitiro mu Biotechnology, vatsvakurudzi muPoland vakapokana kuti mitemo yeEU GMO inotadzisa kuvandudzwa kwekurima.

5. Kunyangwe Vakaipa Panyika

Imwe nharo yezvikafu zvakagadziriswa ndeyekuti nekugadzira zvirimwa izvo zvinongopesana nemakwenzi netupukanana, varimi vanogona kudzora mashandisiro avo emishonga yekuuraya zvipuka. Nekudaro, chidzidzo chitsva chakaburitswa mu Pest Management sainzi inoratidza imwe nyaya yakaoma kana totaura nezvezvirimwa zvitatu zvinonyanya kufarirwa. Sezvo zvirimwa zveGMO zvakabuda, kushandiswa kwegore rose kwemishonga yesora kwakadzikira chibage, asi zvakaramba zvakangofanana nedonje uye zvakawedzera kune soya. Kutenga chikafu chemuno, cheorganic chinogona kunge chiri chifambiso chakanyanya-eco-hushamwari, anodaro Wunderlich, nekuti organic chikafu chinorimwa pasina mishonga yekuuraya zvipembenene. Uyezve, chikafu chakarimwa imomo hachifanirwe kufamba kumatunhu nenyika, zvifambiso zvinoda mafuta emafuta uye zvinogadzira kusvibiswa.
