GE food also 'safe'?

 

A prominent scientist has said: We'll eat GE (Genetically Engineered) food and like it.

They also say it's safe.

May I ask: On what evidence?

They told us asbestos was safe, DDT was safe, PCBs were safe, Agent Orange was safe ... the list goes on.

The trouble is that agribusiness will flog this dangerous technology on the Third World which is mostly, and unfortunately, ignorant and corrupt.

The potential with GE crops is new disease, new viruses, more allergies, toxins and poor nutrition.

The other trouble is that too many politicians do what big business tells them.
