The effects of these foods are as yet incompletely known and some have already been devastating for health. In one case in America 37 people died and 1500 were left disabled. Other products had to be abandoned when they went disastrously wrong. But you will not know what you are eating because the government has decided that labelling of genetically modified foods is not necessary. Your precious right to choose what you and your family eat has been lost.
Genes are the blueprints for every part of an organism.
Scientists want to transfer desirable qualities from one organism to another - for example resistance to a pesticide or to a pest. Enough perfectly good food can be produced without it. The motives for genetic modification are primarily commercial and political, without regard to health and nutrition. The potential dangers are huge. Existing genetic structures have evolved over millions of years into an infinitely complex interconnected ecosystem.
