Is genetically modified foods safe too broad of a research topic? how can i narrow it down?

Should I choose just one genetically modified food or talk about how they are safe or not?

Is genetically modified foods safe too broad of a research topic? how can i narrow it down?
I would start out on a research of all genetically modified food. You may run across a certain food that has an interesting area that you interests you and then you could narrow your subject. What is your research for? Is it for a popular media article like a magazine, or for scientific research like graduate work? Should prove out to be interesting reading. Good luck to you.
Reply:I'd narrow it down to genetically modified veggies or maybe meat. I think corn would be a really good focus as it has been serious messed with.
Reply:Yah...that's too broad a topic. Maybe you could narrow it down and do a research on how it affects the society as a whole. Discuss on the impact it would make to address the health problem of the country and its possible consequences. Highlight on the issues why genetically modified food is needed (or not) in a local setting. Lastly, try to make also a case study of your own. Buy genetically modified foods and have it tested by you (or your subject) and come up with your own analysis based on your own observation. Or you could just research if there where already some similar case studies and include it in your research as supplementals.
Reply:just put the topic as a whole, but use an specific example for the development of your work.





good luck! :)
Reply:First you might just try defining genetically modified. Hybred corn is definitely genetically modified through breeding, not Through insertion of a gene from another species, even class of organism. To the uninitiated and ignorant I am afraid they classify them together. Crossbreeding cattle has also been identified as genetic modification yet if we turned all the cattle loose that is what we would get. By controlled breeding and selection we can determine the type of animal we will get with a certain degree of certainty.
Reply:select 1 type to present on such as corn, much research and modification has been conducted on corn.


good luck
Reply:If you consider plants, a GM plant in a normal environment will affect the environment.





e.g., In normal pollination, the pollen from the GM plant will be carried to non GM plants. It is difficult to study what effect this will have on the future generations of the non GM plants.





Your study can be narrowed to the potential environmental hazards of GM plants.
