The first scholarly source I will be using is Restriction on Genetically Modified Organisms by the Global Legal Research Center. When I first read this source I was really AMAZED!! It provided me position of 23 different countries toward GMOs. As I mentioned before I think that there is a conspiracy behind GMOs between corporation and government. In the introduction of that scholarly source, it mentions how much benefit Argentina earned due to the production of GMOs. The amount was more than I expected. It was around 72.6 billion dollars. As we all know that the U.S is the biggest GMOs producer. If we consider the position of the U.S in GMO production their benefit will definitely exceed Argentina. This also would support my position why the White House forced the FDA to announce the safety of GMOs(You can read last week's post if you are curious about this topic). Apart from Argentina, this source provides a lot of situation regarding GMOs so I will be able to use worldwide issue on GMOs with a lot of cases of 23 other countries.
The second scholarly source I will be using is about cigarette company. I still couldn't find proper scholarly source however I found a good article named Conspiracy of Cigarette Company this article is in Korean, I will try to find a good scholarly source in English and edit. What I am going to do with this is I will be comparing the case of cigarette company and GMOs company. When cigarettes were first introduced the cigarette company concealed the risk of cigarette to increase their cigarette sale. I think GMO companies are using the same tactic for benefit. Thus I will be using this source how cigarette companies planned and acted on plan and how it is similar to GMOs company.
I believe the reason there are so many doubts with GMO's is due to the fact that in countries such as the U.S. private company's like Monsanto have patents meaning all research done is kept private. If GMO research were to be done publically it would help show the truth on what the effects of GMO's truly are. It can then be decided as a country whether or not it is beneficial to keep growing them
