Constantin Metzger, a student of Veronika Fröhlich at Pädagogische Hochschule University of Education in Heidelberg, Germany, read and responded to the YES! Magazine article “A Month Without Monsanto,” by April Dávila, a story about the potential health effects of genetically modified foods, and her need to learn where her food came from. He is a Literary Gem for the Spring 2013 writing competition. Writing prompt: April Dávila discovered that around 70 percent of processed foods on American supermarket shelves contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs). When I read the first three paragraphs of the article, I thought it was simply another outcry about how evil genetically modified food is and that we should all reflect on our nutrition and our purchasing behavior.
