Have you ever looked at a picture and thought to yourself that who ever had posted the picture must have tried really hard to make you believe what you were seeing? In the genetically modified organisms world using photos is a huge form of advertising for both those who are pro GMOs and for those who are against GMOs. Using both the combination of imaging and words to invoke emotion from those who are viewing the advertisement plays a large role in how the public view genetically modified organisms. Personally if I were too see something like this on a poster in a grocery story I would wonder if what I was eating was safe. The sad part about this advertisements is it hard to find advertisements that are pro GMO. Naturally then it would make sense that the majority would rule against genetically modified organisms when all that they see is negative.
The pro-GMO adds are few and far between. Originally I was going to use a pro GMO advertisement but upon simply searching it, I found that the majority of the advertisements that came up were against GMOs. Upon looking at these articles I found that it was pretty clear what the writers wanted their readers to believe. There is not a lot of places that invites consumers to educated themselves, learn about GMO's and then make a decision. There is always two sides too a story, so if the pictures that you see about GMO's make you uneasy, then take sometime to be educated and see both sides of the story. We live in such a world that we have access too so much information. Take the challenge and find out for yourself.
