Genetically modified organisms will benefit the world's poorest people.........
Ha, what a joke! It will only help to control them more by taking away the ability to have their own crops whit out some corporation controlled GMO seeds that kill all other organisms around them including the very people that grow and consume the crops.
For once maybe we should wake up and understand the problems that GMO has build in to it and no one ever talks about it for the fear of corporate reprisal and prosecution.
If any one would know what happened to lab rats fed GMO potatoes? Boy, don't think any one would think twice. GMO kills. Thats that. We should get it across to all people of the world before it is to late.
Why there has not been done yet comprehensive study of side effects of GMO?
Should we all be big corporations lab rats. But we already are. Most foods in North American supermarkets are GMO one way or the other. Shocking? It's a fact.
