  2. In this article I found 4 biases:
    TITLE:
    Are Biotech Foods Safe to Eat?

    **This means that there are side effects if we consume "gmf" and the writer is sure this is a negative idea.

    INTRODUCTION:
    Most Americans have eaten genetically modified foods without knowing it, but are they safe?
    Genetically modified food has quietly become second nature in the U.S., and it may surprise you just how many foods you are eating that you never knew contained a genetically modified ingredient.

    **Here the writer show us his bias, he has anegative posision.

    IMBALANCE:
    But what exactly is genetically modified food? Is it safe to eat? Why isn't it labeled in the U.S.? The European Union and the U.S. are boxing it out.
    The U.S. government's position: Genetically engineered crops are safe, resist disease better, and can provide much-needed food in starving nations.
    The EU position: Keep it out. We prefer organic, which is much healthier. The risk of genetically modified foods to health and the environment outweigh the benefits. Only the multinational biotech companies will benefit, dominating the world food supply and squeezing out traditional farmers.

    **According to the writer, labels must be presented in the products, but exist a conflict among the US and the EU about this.


    INFORMATION SOURCE:
    Experts say 60% to 70% of processed foods on U.S. grocery shelves have genetically modified ingredients.
    Researchers from the Food Policy Institute at Rutgers' Cook College found that only 52% of Americans realized that genetically modified foods are sold in grocery stores and only 26% believed that they have ever eaten genetically modified foods -- a modest 6% increase since 2001.

    **Here we observe the source in which the writer bases his article.
