Welcome to our Blog! As you read through our assignments, produced for our Environmental Studies class, you will come across many interesting projects concerning prevelant environmental issues that we face today. As college students, we are becoming today's adults and our children will be the adults of tomorrow. We must promote a safe and healthy environment or our world will slowly deteriorate into the destruction that many other nations already face. Please comment on our assignments and feel free to post your own words and ideas that may help to spread the word to SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT!

Alana Piselli - Mini Project #4

The majority of foods found in our supermarkets are genetically altered. In the US there are millions of acres of plants that have been genetically altered in some way. These crops, such as vegetables, fruits, and tobacco are most likely exposed to some type of genetic engineering. Other ingredients such as corn, soy, canola and cottonseed oil are found in many of the products we consume on a daily basis. Although many of these crops have also been organically grown in an attempt to protect our bodies as well as our environment, organic food products can be costly. Listed below are some popular name brand food products which have been genetically altered.
