Label genetically modified food
just announce that it has submitted a draft of the genetic code of rice plant - are easily say that GM foods will contribute to famine in the world. Why, then, there is also much resistance from industry for the labelling of genetically modified products? All Californians, whether optimistic or paranoid, have a right to know if genetically modified food.
McDonald’s, Burger King or Kentucky Fried Chicken have already eliminating genetically modified soybeans and corn ingredients in their menus in Britain, while the Americans keep designation of these foods without an indication of their genetic content.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture evaluations and reviews on hundreds of enterprise applications for genetically modified organisms (food) or GMOs, without even a single expert to work full time on this subject.
A new report by the National Academy of Sciences says that GM food is safe, while in the same breath demand for research on human impact on allergies and that the GM maize poisons monarch butterflies. This is not reassuring rotation, especially since the head of the study midway left to go work for the Biotechnology Industry Organization, and four researchers have obtained funding from Monsanto, which has a direct economic interest the cultivation of plants, “Roundup Ready” is a measure for its herbicide.
Nobody can deny that genetically modified foods is distinguished by his colleagues treaty. So why not label to inform consumers and choice? They are detectable. Virtually every altered gene product bears a signature, sent in place of his art. A simple test may be $ 5 to pick genetically modified products with natural soy their peers.
We will not let that producers of other products dupe consumers. A label knockoff copy of a CD-ROM is a fraud. Even atomic identical, synthetic and natural diamonds can be labeled, consumers can choose between technology and version and the real McCoy. People who like the “real thing”.
