Sustainability week…FEEDING 20 FAMILIES

What should we do???

By Angela, Liza and Ricquelle

We are going to genetically modify a chicken!How are we going to do this?And no… it’s not turning out like this…

It’s going to turn out like this!

What are we going to do?

You

The chicken.

So, back to the point…How are we going to do this?

We’re going to select the two biggest chickens, with the most meat, meet together and form other chickens that will have a lot of meat too. This is going to be repeated with a lot of other chickens. At the end the chicken will become enormous!!! We are doing this so we can provide more meat for the 20 families.

Why are GM food produced?Genetically modified food are made because there is some perceived advantage either to the producer or consumer of these foods.

This is meant to translate into a product with a lower price, greater benefit in terms of durability or nutritional value or both.

Christians think that we shouldn’t be touching God’s nature, but others think God gave us the intelligence, so we have the right to GM animals.

Should we be doing Genetic Modification?

Is it safe?Well OF COURSE it’s safe!In general genetic engineering puts different genes into the chicken so this will cause mutant children.

But since we are genetically modifying chickens it’s not harmful to the chickens or us because they are just naturally laying eggs.

Get it ?So basically, at the end,

it’ll turn out like this

How is this going to work?

Back to this diagram, As the new big chickens are being selected in breeding, the old chickens that can no longer produce any eggs and no longer able to do anything, will be killed and sent to the poorest family so that they have more chickens to eat.

WHAT IS THE COST INVOLVED?For a chicken or rooster it costs $5-$20.We are going to feed 20 families. That’s

approximately 100 people.We need at least 25 chickens and 25 roosters to that it will be enough to selectively breed

them and share between the 20 families.So the cost of getting the chickens would be

25x$12.50+25x$12.50=$625

Total cost is $625( This is actually pretty cheap)

So, has that summed up everything about what we’re

going to do?Bibliographywww.csa.com
