Gladys Cruz IS 126Q GM Foods Served in School Cafeterias: Possible Health Risks for Children?"

 Step 1  Define the Problem The issue of Genetically Modified Foods Served in School Cafeterias and the Possible Health Risks for Children?"

What is Genetically Modified Organisms? Genetically modified organism A genetically modified organism is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Video Defining the Social Problem Worksheet1 et.doc et.doc

Would you like to be a public policy analyst ? As a public policy analyst, you will define a social problem. A social problem is a condition that at least some people in a community view as being undesirable.

Step 2. Gather the Evidence How do you feel about GMO’s being served in our school cafeterias ? In this step your group will use the Internet research the evidence as to whether there are health risks from eating GM food. Public Policy Analysis Worksheet 2 heet.doc heet.doc

Step 3 Identify the cause  Watch video – Harvest of Fear  (A PBS Nova/Frontline Special Report)  For more information: Public Policy Analysis Worksheet 3: 3.doc Briefly list several underlying factors that contribute to the problem that you have identified (support these factors with evidence)

Step 4. Evaluate an existing policy Existing Policy:  Mandatory labeling of genetically modified organism (GMO) foods in the United States has been proposed, but not enacted, at the national, state, and local levels.  In this step, you will analyze both the advantages and disadvantages of existing policies.  Worksheet 4: Evaluating existing public policies  sheet.doc sheet.doc

Public Policy Analysis Step 5 Developing Solutions  Worksheet 5:  Developing public policy solutions worksheet.doc worksheet.doc

Step 6 Select the best solution  Worksheet 6: Selecting the best public policy solution  worksheet.doc worksheet.doc  What was the best decision based on the policies surrounding GMO’s in our school cafeteria?  What would be the best solution, for GMO’s in US school cafeteria?

Public Policy Analysis Worksheet 7 Identifying Benefits sheet7.doc sheet7.doc  Lets examine the cost/benefit of this policy.  Is it cost effective?  What are the benefits to the new policy?  Is this policy feasible?  With your group, identify the three most important benefits to your policy:
