This presentation is prepared by my eight year old son, Shounak Ray Chaudhuri for his 3rd grade class sharing. This include his research for finding best food option for healthier life style.

2. Intro
This is a brief introduction to my presentation about Food.
For the next 10-15 minutes I’ll be talking about
● Different categories of food
○ Organic food
○ GMO food
○ Conventionally grown food
● How to identify which is what
● Can meats and dairies be conventional or GMO?
● Quiz | Glossary

3. Why I Chose This Topic
I chose this topic because my dad watched a PG-13 movie in which a boy ate
GMO food and had skin disease, loss of appetite and an episode of vomiting.
When my dad told me about the movie, I was confused about conventional, GMO
and organic foods.
So, I decided to learn about those foods and show you my findings.
???!
Organic!?
Conventionally
Grown!?
GMO?!

4. Let's start digging into my academic
sharing

5. Organic Foods
Organic fruits and vegetables are produced
without using
● Chemical pesticides
● Synthetic fertilizers
● Genetically modified organisms
Organic meats and dairy products are
produced from animals without using
● Antibiotics and growth hormones
● GMO animal food

6. Organic Foods - Benefits and Disadvantages
Benefits
● No side effects with chemicals
● Healthy
● Better for the environment
● Fresher as no preservatives are used
Disadvantages
● Extra Cost
● Long-term preservation is hard
● More Bacteria and Virus Attacks

7. Organic Logos
These are organic logos

8. GMO Food
Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) foods are produced by
● Changing genes of original foods
● Using genetic engineering in labs
● New DNA structure created scientifically
Common GMO foods are
● Soy
● Corn
● Dairy

9. GMO foods - Benefits and Disadvantages
Benefits
● Uses 4x less water
● Resistant to bacterias
● Add nutritional values
Disadvantages
● Not natural
● Unknown side effects on the human body
● Impact to mother nature could be harmful

10. Conventionally Grown Food
Conventionally grown foods are produced by
● Using conventional and natural seeds
● Using synthetic fertilizer while growing
● Using chemical pesticides to avoid loss of production
Conventionally bred meats and dairy products include
● Antibiotics given to the animals
● Growth hormones used to increase production

11. Conventionally Grown Food - Benefits and
Disadvantages
Benefits
● Lower price
● Preservation for longer duration
● Not genetically modified
Disadvantages
● Use of chemical impacts human body
● Pesticides and chemicals Impact mother nature
● Loss of natural vitamins and proteins due to long-term preservation

12. How to Identify Foods
As You can see here on my
fellow chart
As you can see here on
my fellow chart, a
shortcut to see if food
is organic,
conventionally-grown,
or if it is GMO or
genetically modified.

13. Meats and Dairy Products
Like fruits and vegetables, meat and dairy products can also be organic,
GMO or conventionally produced
They can be genetically modified if humans genetically modify an
animal or the animal that produces the dairy.
They are organic if fed only organic food
They are conventionally bred if given antibiotics or growth hormones
To conclude this slide, I will say that almost any food can be genetically
modified or conventionally-grown.

14. Videos

15. Refreshing your mind
What you learned:
Today you learned what objects or chemicals are inside organic,
conventionally-grown and genetically modified food.
You also learned that meat and dairy products can also be genetically
modified and conventionally-grown or domesticated.
You also learned how to identify food at the grocery store if it's GMO,
conventionally-grown or organic.
After this slide will be a glossary and the ending slide.

16. The 5 question quiz
1. Can meat and dairy products be genetically
modified or conventionally domesticated?
2. What was the title of my presentation?
3. How do you identify if a food is genetically
modified, organic or conventionally grown?
4. What 3 foods was I talking about today?
5. In the video what did the men do differently?

17. Answers
1. YES
2. GMO, Conventionally Grown and Organic Food
3. You look at the numbers
4. GMO, Conventionally Grown and Organic Food
5. One put chemicals and one crossbred them

18. Glossary
GMO: A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism that has been
altered using genetic engineering techniques.
Conventionally-grown: It produces using synthetic chemicals (fertilizers,
pesticides, antibiotics, hormones).
Organic: relating to or derived from living matter.
Chemical, Pesticides: a substance used for destroying insects or other organisms
harmful to cultivated plants or to animals.
Synthetic, Fertilizer: a chemical or natural substance added to soil or land to
increase its fertility.
DNA: DeoxyriboNucleic Acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living
organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic
information.

19. OO O
Ho-ho! I didn’t get to hack you , buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I’ll feed you GMO and
Conventional Food instead !!!!!!!!!
