Some of the more common side-effects of GM procedures include oversized embryos, prenatal deaths, brain damage and missing or deformed limbs, eyes or internal organs. The pursuit of this research amounts to a catastrophe for the animal victims and the betrayal of the human patients of today and of the future. One of the so-called advantages of GM food is that it will 'feed the starving'. This 'logic' is dealt with elsewhere on this site. Now let us take, out of the air, the case of millions of North Korean people left to rot where they stand because their government insists, from the end of a gun, that their farmers grow opium in place of food for their nation.
Food is a weapon of war.
Incidentally, the GM food debate has divided even the Blair household, according to Nottingham South MP Alan Simpson. Food in the Houses of Parliament is GM-free. They said that the biotech industry is using us as guinea pigs, and the environment as an open-air lab. A confidential report leaked to GeneWatch UK has revealed that Monsanto is involved in a campaign to promote GM products by attempting to determine which experts get on international scientific committees. Their strategy is to promote their views through supposedly independent scientists, and gain influence with key decision makers.
