The following three questions refer to material you were to read in preparation for class. These questions require you to write a three or four sentence response. It is OK to answer 'I don't know' - but STATE WHY you are confused! (Don't just say 'I don't know' - you probably DO!) Each WarmUp worth 3 points if answered on time and must be submitted via the web. See notes page for prior Warm Ups and student responses.

QUESTION 1: If you were eating genetically modified (GM) food, would you know it from reading a food label? Or do you think you are already eating genetically modified foods right now? Please visit The True Foods shopping List before answering.

QUESTION 2: Golden Rice holds the promise of preventing millions of deaths every year from Vitamin A deficiency. Read about it in your notes, and then answer: Can you think of some reasons why this great crop might NOT save as many lives as it could?

QUESTION 3: After reading the notes for Part 3 this week, what is a refuge, as it relates to GM crops? How does the concept of a refuge work, and why does the EPA think that refuges are needed?

QUESTION 4: Optional: questions or comments about GM foods?
