Do GMO’s Deserve the Bad Rep that they’ve Been Getting?

Ever since companies first began using GMO’s in their products, the public has been quick to criticize their use. Criticism has come from concerned parents, food lovers and the health conscious who are worried about the impact that GMO’s will have on their bodies.

But research has shown that although GMOs’ have a bad reputation, they probably do not deserve it. The National Academy of Sciences released a comprehensive report in May that stated GMO’s were just as safe to consume as their non-GMO counterparts.

The committee did not find that GMOs lead to a spike in health problems such as autism, obesity, cancer or kidney disease. It also claimed that GMO’s in our food supply do not increase food allergies; affect GI tract or risk horizontal gene transfer, which is the process of genetic material from one organism moving into another cell.

In fact, the report concludes that GMO and non-GMO crops with an increased concentration of particular nutrients could lead to “favorable effect on the health of millions of people”


Despite the fact that GMO’s remain a controversial subject with the public, scientist and food experts have given their confirmation that GMO’s are in fact safe for everyone to consume and enjoy!

Many people are quick to say that Candy does not improve your work habits. But luckily for all the candy lovers out there I’m going to challenge this belief and tell you the 5 ways in which candy can actually help you concentrate and even improve your work habits. 1. Energy: There no way to avoid the last minute pile of work that you promised yourself you would finish “tomorrow”.   Between those cat videos on YouTube and trying to “Keep up with the Kardashians”, you’ve accidentally dug yourself into a hole of work that you need to be out of by 8am sharp.

Share A Lollipop with a Friend!

Sharing is caring, that’s what my parents always said. Remembering those little polite things teacher and parents would constantly enforce in our lives. How doing one nice thing for someone else would show how much you care. Funny how simple it used to be. Being a kid and making friends was so easy. All you had to do was share and say hi and it was like you had been friends your entire life. Sometimes I wish it was that easy now. If all I had to do was share a cute little lollipop to get people to be my friend, I would have a hundred friends. These little life-lessons that you learn as a child seem so far fetch now but are they really? Sometimes we over look those simple gesture. We now think wow that was so easy, wish things could be this easy now. Well maybe they can be. Who said kindness was overrated. I like to still believe that if I left my house right now and went to someone with a cute little lollipop that maybe I would make a new friend. All you read and hear about is all th
