Meaʻai inisinia faʻatekinolosi

Genetically engineered (GE) meaʻai ua suia a latou DNA faʻaaogaina genes mai isi laʻau poʻo manu. E ave e saienitisi le kenera mo se uiga manaʻomia i se tasi laʻau po o se manu, ma latou te tuʻuina atu lena gafa i totonu o le sela o se isi laʻau poʻo se manu.

E mafai ona faia le inisinia faʻasaienisi i laʻau, manu, poʻo siama ma isi mea laiti. Genetic inisinia faʻatagaina saienitisi e faʻasolosolo manaʻoga kenera mai le tasi laʻau po o le manu i le isi. E mafai foi ona aveese gai mai se manu i se laʻau poʻo le isi foʻi mea. O le isi igoa mo lenei o genetically fesuiaʻi meaola, poʻo GMOs.

O le gaioiga e fausia ai GE meaʻai e ese nai lo filifilia filifilia. E aʻafia ai le filifilia o laʻau poʻo manu e iai manaʻoga ma faʻatupuina. I le aluga o taimi, o lenei mea e maua ai fanau ma na manaʻoga uiga.

O se tasi o faʻafitauli i le filifilia o se ituaiga meaola, e mafai foi ona mafua ai ni uiga e le manaʻomia. Genetic engineering faʻatagaina saienitisi e filifili se tasi faʻapitoa kenera e totoina. Lenei alo ese mai le faʻauluina o isi genes ma uiga le manaʻomia. Genetic engineering e fesoasoani foi e faʻatopetope le gaioiga o le fausiaina o meaʻai fou ma ona manaʻoga uiga.

O faʻamanuiaga e ono maua mai ile gafa faʻatekinolosi aofia ai:

• Sili atu meaai lelei
• Meaʻai mama
• Faʻamaʻi-ma laʻau-puipuia laʻau e manaʻomia le laʻititi ifo o le siosiomaga punaoa (pei o le vai ma fetilaisa)
• Faʻaititia le faʻaaogaina o vailaʻau vailaʻau
• Faʻateleina sapalai o meaʻai ma faʻaititia le tau ma umi le umi o le olaga
• Vave totoina laau ma manu
• Meaʻai e tele ona manaʻoga uiga, pei o pateta e maua ai le itiiti ifo o le kanesa-mafua ai meaʻai peʻa falai
• Meaʻai vailaʻau e mafai ona faʻaaoga e fai ma tui poʻo isi vailaʻau

Nisi tagata na faʻaalia popolega e uiga i meaʻai GE, pei o:

• Foafoaga o meaʻai e mafai ona mafua ai le faʻaleagaina poʻo le oona
• Le fuafuaina poʻo le faʻaleagaina o kenera suiga
• Le faʻaliliuina faʻafuaseʻi o genes mai le tasi laʻau GM poʻo se manu i seisi laʻau poʻo se meaola e le o faʻamoemoeina mo le fesuiaiga o gafa
• Meaʻai e le lelei tele

O nei atugaluga ua oʻo mai nei e le faʻavaeina. E leai se mea e tasi o nei meaʻai na tutupu mai ile GE. O le US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) iloiloina meaʻai uma a le GE ia mautinoa latou te saogalemu aʻo leʻi faʻatagaina i latou e faʻatau atu. I le faʻaopopoga i le FDA, o le US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ma le US Department of Agriculture (USDA) faʻatonutonu bioengineered laʻau ma manu. Latou iloiloina le saogalemu o GE taumafa i tagata, manu, laʻau, ma le siosiomaga.

Cotton, sana, ma soybeans o fualaʻau sili ia a GE e totoina i le Iunaite Setete. Ole tele o mea ia e faʻaaoga e gaosi ai mea mo isi mea taumafa, pei ole:

• Sa faʻaaogaina le suamalie sana e avea o se mea suamalie i le tele o meaʻai ma vai inu
• O le masoa saito e faʻaaoga i supo ma sosi
• Soybean, sana, ma canola suauʻu faʻaaogaina i meaai mama, falaoa, salati salati, ma mayonnaise
• Suka mai suka suka
• Fafaga lafumanu

O isi mea totō tetele e aofia ai:

• Apu
• Papaya
• Pateta
• Squash

E leai ni aʻafiaga e maua mai le taumafaina o meaʻai a le GE.

O le Faalapotopotoga o le Soifua Maloloina a le Lalolagi, le National Academy of Science, ma le tele o isi saienitisi tele faʻalapotopotoga i le lalolagi atoa ua latou toe suʻesuʻeina suʻesuʻega i meaʻai a le GE ma latou le maua ai se faʻamaoniga o latou e leaga. E leai ni lipoti o maʻi, manuʻa, poʻo le leaga o le siosiomaga ona o GE taumafa. O meaʻai ua gaosia i kenera e tutusa lava le sefe ma meaʻai masani.

Talu ai nei na amata ai ona manaʻomia e le Matagaluega o Faʻatoʻaga a Amerika le faʻatulagaina o faʻamatalaga e uiga i meaʻai bioengineered ma a latou mea.
