4. What have you looked at so far (sources) and how useful do you think they will be and why? Be as specific as possible. Please include links to web sources that you have found and add a brief description of them. One of the sites will be using is http://visual.ly/organic-vs-gmo-foods, this site basically breaks down the difference between organic and whole foods and conventional foods and GMO using charts and graphs.  Another website I used is  http://timothyasare.hubpages.com/hub/ADVANTAGES-AND-DISADVANTAGES-OF-ORGANIC-FOODS this web site states the advantages and disadvantages of organic foods. I also used http://www.nationalacademies.org/includes/genengcrops.pdf which describes the disadvantages of GMOs. 

5. What are your next steps if this topic is approved? What would be the next steps in the writing and research project next week? My next step would be to compose enough information to make a strong argument on my claim. 

6. What difficulties do you see at this time in moving forward with the research process? Find enough information to make a strong argument.
