GMO

The
FDA has received over 1,000,000 comments from citizens
demanding labeling of GMOs. 90% of Americans agree.
So why no labeling? I'll give you one reason: The
influence and the corruption of the political process
by Monsanto.

"Genetically
engineering food is controversial, as it should be.
If you’re asking me, we should stop introducing genes
from one species into another, while at the same time
taking full advantage of our ability to understand
the genome of any organism—plant, animal, or fungus
— in order to produce the healthiest, most sustainable
food system possible. Here’s why: Although we can
know exactly what happens to any organism we modify,
we just can’t quite know what will happen to other
species in that modified organism’s ecosystem. For
me this is a big deal, though some other investigators
don’t seem to find it as troubling. What I mean is
we can determine with great confidence what will happen
to the modified organism, i.e. the corncob, the soybean,
the canola bean, the papaya, and the tomato. But,
we just cannot be certain what effect a GMO will have
on the ecosystem."

"Approximately
82% of the American people believe labeling should
take place with regard to genetically engineered ingredients.
All over this country people are increasingly concerned
about the quality of the food they are ingesting and
the food they are giving to their kids. People want
to know what is in their food, and I believe that
is a very reasonable request."

When
it comes to owning the seed for collecting royalties,
the GMO companies say, 'it's mine.' But when it comes
to contamination, cross-pollination, health problems,
the response is we're not liable.

Any
politician or scientist who tells you these [GMO]
products are safe is either very stupid or lying.
