    History of Genetically Modified Foods

  • Breeding of 2 different flowers are crossed in the Netherlands

    Breeding of 2 different flowers are crossed in the Netherlands

    The cross breeding of the 2 diffrent flowers is important because it starts the cross breeding of all organisms and lets people know that they can change the genes of plants
  • Cross Fertilazation of Corn is discovered

    Cross Fertilazation of Corn is discovered

    This impacted genetically modified foods because it shows that people can mix genes of food and it wont harmful to the people that eat the food
  • Gregor Mendel spends 41 years studying the cross breeding of pea plants

    Gregor Mendel spends 41 years studying the cross breeding of pea plants

    This impacted GMO Foods because it started futher investigation of the mixing up genes and also starts the popularity of cross breeding foods and plants which leads to GM Foods
  • Monsanto's produce the first Genetically Engineered seed

    Monsanto's produce the first Genetically Engineered seed

    This impacted genetically modified foods because it leads to the growing of GM crops and also shows that any organism can be genetically modified
  • The First Genetically Modified Crop is tobacco plant

    The First Genetically Modified Crop is tobacco plant

    The first genetically modified crop is important because it prevents cancer was approved by the FDA and starts the GM crops to grow through out the U.S.
  • A genetically engineered human growth hormone is put into milk

    A genetically engineered human growth hormone is put into milk

    A genetically engineered human growth hormone is important because it is the first human gene put into a consumer product to increase milk production
  • The first commercially grown tomato is Gentically Modified

    The first commercially grown tomato is Gentically Modified

    This is impacted GM Foods because it was the first commercially grown food to be Genetically Modified.It was called the Flavor Saver which helped it last longer
  • FDA makes it non-mandatory for GM foods to be labeled

    FDA makes it non-mandatory for GM foods to be labeled

    This impacted Genetically Modified Foods because it shows the U.S. accepts GM foods since does not require labels. Which shows that they are safe to eat
  • 400 million acres of land plant GM crops

    400 million acres of land plant GM crops

    This is important because it shows that GM foods are being grown and sold all over the world and is being eaten with a great demand
  • Gentically Modified EVERYTHING

    Gentically Modified EVERYTHING

    All most every food we have is genetically modified and is cloned which makes world hunger not a problem anymore and it is currently in the process of making foods that dont make you fat which makes all food healthy and delicious
