The public relations propaganda of the biotechnology firms is designed to convince the public that genetically engineered food is necessary to feed the rapidly growing world population. We must look at the reality, not the hype. Just five corporations control the entire global trade in grain. These corporations are actively involved in manipulating international trade agreements to their advantage, backed by the U.S government. Food security will not increase for the world by holding farmers and consumers' hostage to a handful of multinational enterprises.
Humanity is faced with some very critical questions.
The decision to forge ahead on this experiment to re-engineer Mother Nature is not one that belongs in the hands of a few greedy corporations, because this time we will not be able to clean up their mess. Once an engineered gene is released into the environment, it cannot be recalled or cleaned up.
