Today people go to the super market thinking they are getting
            
 good clean healthy products, but instead half of what they are
            
 buying has undergone genetic therapy.  You pick up a beautiful
            
 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" are on the shelves at every
            
 grocer, you have to wonder what detrimental side effects lie in
            
 store for the consumers.  The universal consumer must start
            
 worrying that biotechnology could indeed intensify the worlds
            
 food state by continuing to leave genetic resources in the hands of 
            
 blind sighted corporations.  Today gene splicing in agriculture
            
 allows scientists to mutate crops to behave or show certain
            
 characteristics.  For example if a certain species of animal  is
            
 facing extinction due to lack of vegetation, then scientists are now
            
 able to alter plants to begin to show those traits to provide the
            
 species with a food supply.  Now, where does th...
