Animal feed move defies logic and democracy
The introduction of genetically modified organisms into our food chain defies all logic, as well as democracy.
A film entitled The Future of Food by Deborah Koons Garcia exposes the myths perpetuated by supporters of GMOs - ie, that there is sufficient testing prior to release, that yields are better, that fewer chemicals are used and that GMOs will feed the world.
The film points out that Monsanto has patented over 11,000 seeds and are buying up seed companies at speed. They have also taken farmers to court to protect their patented seeds despite the obvious uncontrollable process of seed pollination in nature.
I have no faith in our current level of protection. Experimental animal feed is being imported. Will those animals getting this GM feed be labelled?
