Question

Genetically Modified foods
Halos and cuties are oranges that have been genetically modifed to not rot fast when peeled. These oranges have a gene artifically introduced into their cels that stops the proteins that stops the proteins the cause rotting from being formed within the cell. These articles are about the sale of Arctic apples in the U.S.

HALOS AND CUTEIS were not cerated to keep people heathe but to look nice after they were peeld. The same gene that helps stopthe rotting of the oranges is the gene to help fight of insects, pests, and disesaes. In addtion, people do not want getically modified food. orang already have high levels toxic pesticides that are linked to chemicals in people's bodies in the U.S and are found in even higher concertations in children.


today the u.s food and drug administration concluded that Halos and Cuties are safe for eating. GMOs must meet the same logical snd ethical satndards of the traditional way.The review process includes reseach on the molecular changes and nutritional makeup of GMOs comperedto non GMOs. The fda has no food safety qustons about halos or cuties at this time.


Using "Articles about GMOs" Evaluate how each article addresses both the intended and possible unintended outcomes of genetically modifying oranges as well as their possible bias.

Based on the provided text about genetically modified foods, specifically Halos and Cuties oranges, you should evaluate the articles regarding their intended and possible unintended outcomes of genetic modification, as well as potential bias. Here are three accurate inferences or conclusions about the articles to choose from:

1. **Article 1 expresses a negative opinion about genetically modified foods.**
This conclusion is likely valid as the text seems critical of genetically modified foods, particularly highlighting the association with toxic pesticides and public skepticism about GMOs.

2. **The authors of both articles would agree that the intended outcome of developing oranges is to prevent rotting.**
This conclusion can be inferred, as both articles mentioned the goal of preventing rotting as an intended outcome of the genetic modifications made to the oranges.

3. **Article 2 represents a special interest group who would be against genetically modified food because it is unnatural.**
This conclusion may not be fully supported based on the content since Article 2 appears to focus on FDA safety evaluations rather than representing a specific special interest group.

Given these assessments, the best selections seem to be:

- Article 1 expresses a negative opinion about genetically modified foods.
- The authors of both articles would agree that the intended outcome of developing oranges is to prevent rotting.

You should avoid choosing the answer about Article 2’s representation of a special interest group, as the content does not clearly define that perspective. The inference about Article 1 including positive outcomes is inconsistent with the provided critique. Hence, the third statement about unintended outcomes in Article 2 also does not align directly with the provided content.

Please choose the first two conclusions for your response.
