Hmm -.-
I would agree with you if the leaders of the world was trying to achieve best results for mankind and health in mind, but this is not or ever will be the case.
let me give you some examples on how this gmo is affecting the world negativity already and the process to speed this up is well undertaken.
Monsanto which is The worlds largest food and agriculture manufacture/supplier have manipulated some governments to accept that life is patentable, by this they mean that if they change a bit of a ex, natural pigs dna or crops, this is now the creation of the manipulator thus giving them legal and financial rights over these animals / crops, several cases are up in process where monsanto are suing sevral farmers and crop growers for trespassing on their patented life.
one ex of a case is where a farmer had his own pig's eating monsanto food which has been subjected to monsanto modified pigs dna, passed the patented dna over to the new pig's cubs with the farmer unknowing of this, later monsanto sends over inspectors and inspects the farm for trespasses and ofc all of the new piggs had monsanto dna, leagaly owned and prosecuted by monsanto.
since monsato was a chemical company before they set in to take over the food and agriculture market they like to refer to gmo as ecological food since the food is now not subjected to any chemicals, while a dna manipulation is an organic alternation hence ecological definition by their statement.
also let me give u an insight of what kind of alteration they are doing to crops /animals.
to make strawberry more resistant to frost the interduce a gene from a fish found in the arctic oceans which has the ability to produce a substance which makes the fish´s blood not freeze at extreme temperatures, this dna was isolated and sliced in to the dna of the strawberrie, this causes the human body to react very badly according to studies which revels that the human body reject this food as poisonous since it can not recognize its natural patter as either plant or animal and the immune system starts to attack the own cells in confusion.
Agin another gmo ex, is where the interduced a spiders silk processing dna into a sheep's dna so they could milk the silk out of the sheep to use as kevlavest for military use, imagine now this sheep running off and getting of springs with another sheep, nothing good can come out of this mad undertakings, not even with all the time you get to studie these effects would make them any safer.
these mega companies are not after your individual health or care about nature their only goal is control over mankind, you shuld also know that codex alimentarius will be implemented this year for global market, and means in short that the world food association has some rules to which all food and agriculture agency´s must follow in order to get into the globalmarket and this codex will make proteins and vitamin's illigeal, the crops/food must get treated with a ofc monsanto chemical to make it safe. youtube it.
hope u think twice before endulcing these mad men and come up with an good example to how we can retain a substantial growing food culture, imo
free Africa and educate them structured watering to manage their own crops, the earth is fertile, support ocean going farms instead of fishing armadas which destroy what lite we have left, and with less interference from greedy companies and supporters to mad science is what we need less of.
peace is the only solution or we will all fall.:hmm
Re: [Article] GM In our food - Are fish threatened?
[FONT="]I would agree that genetically modified (GM) food has its dangers – but only because it needs further research. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The world is getting smaller, not only because of technology but because of our increasing population. We must understand how to maximize the yield of food in a field that is slowly decreasing against the backdrop of an ever expanding human population. How do we feed this expanding population with the limited area that is available? Against this fact, wild life will be threatened – not so much as in over harvesting, though that is also a factor, but in the loss of its habitat. Even that is not limitless. What do we do when we have reached that limit?[/FONT]
[FONT="]I live in a small group of islands that has limited area for cultivation, with a population that is growing everyday. Rice and fish is the most important food for our people. Should we not look at GM as a solution?[/FONT]
[FONT="]GM can be a solution. Technology will play a great part in this as it has done in all aspects of our life. We should encourage research on it so that its dangers will be revealed and so avoid it. As in spearfishing - whether you are a free or scuba diver - the equipment we use now for this sport is the result of the technology that we have and this technology came about because of research in other fields – scuba diving included![/FONT]
[FONT="]Research on GM must be done and it must be done thoroughly. It is not a question of “we will do it because we can” but because if we don’t, humanity may be fighting each other for what food is left. In fact we have begun to. Turf wars over fishing grounds, disagreements on water rights and so on.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The inherent dangers of GM must not stop the research that would make us understand it – as the inherent dangers of flying did not stop mankind reaching for the moon.
