biotech & famine

The realization is dawning that if genetically engineered crops are planted on a large scale and contaminate large amounts of non-gmo crops before the cascading instabilities end in a genetic implosion, the result could be the largest famine in history. Go to http://www.i-sis.org.uk/meltdown.php and http://www.i-sis.org.uk/unstable.php for explanation and references. Bull shit It's a bit arrogant to presume we know more about how to grow things in africa than africans do. I heard from a ugandan who works on agriculture issues who said when they were given seeds by the west during a drought, many of them did not even sprout, so they learned the next time around to say thank you, eat the western seeds, and plant their indigenous ones which are adapted to local conditions and do sprout. South Africans sure like BT cotton. Gordon |
