ASSIGNMENT #4 - WAITER, THERE'S A GENE IN MY SOUP!
Per Andreas Ramberg.
Per Andreas Ramberg.
Kellogg’s is known to nearly every man and woman on earth,
but what people don’t know is that they use quite a lot of GMO's (gen modified
organisms) in their cereals.
Kellog’s Frosted Flakes, which I am eating right now, contains genetically engineered corn.
The bacteria they insert into the plants are called Bacillus
thuringiensis and was
discovered by Shigetane Ishiwatari in 1911 and the first company who used it
in plants where Plant Genetic Systems from Belgia. It is used as a pesticide.
