Even our Government is doing a U-Turn on that issue
Genetically modified food and crops
The introduction of genetically modified (GM) food and crops has been a disaster. The science of taking genes from one species and inserting them into another was supposed to be a giant leap forward, but instead they pose a serious threat to biodiversity and our own health. In addition, the real reason for their development has not been to end world hunger but to increase the stranglehold multinational biotech companies already have on food production.
We are told that GM crops will help feed the world's poor but according to the United Nations, we already produce more than enough food to satisfy everyone. And even though consumers have rejected GM foods outright, the biotech companies and the governments that support them are still trying to force their inventions on us, purely for commercial gain. But the long term effects of GM crops have not been properly researched and, by cross-pollinating with non-GM crops and wild plants, they replicate themselves and contaminate the environment with genetic pollution that is impossible to clean up.
The simple truth is, we don't need GM technology. Using sustainable and organic farming methods will allow us to repair the damage done by industrial farming, reducing the excessive use of fertiliser, herbicides and other man-made chemicals, and making GM crops redundant.
Maybe we should take time to look at the poor Bee's that always seem nowadays to be walking on the floor or pathways...The ones that we are now told are losing their memories of how to get home as they have been pollinating the GM based plants and Oil Rape seed plants that are now everywhere...but then again....you may be right...where am I..who am I? whats this for? hahahaha take care my friend..maybe I watch X-Files too much.
