Comments for Brazil Approves Release of Monsanto's Transgenic Corn Under Protests at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 2 out of 2 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Sun, 07 Sep 2008 08:20:23 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8577/54/#pc_10824 The science of transgenic engineering is still in its early infancy, and there is much that we simply do not know. In my opinion, it is unconscionable that government regulatory bodies allow genetically engineered seeds to be so widely disseminated by Monsanto and other plant biotechs. There is enough evidence that casts doubt on the health safety of GMO's, but even without it, 'absence of proof' is not 'proof of absence' - especially with a new and potentially dangerous technology that heavily impacts the world food supply. It is up to the people, the real power in any society, to be informed and to demand a healthy, nutritious food supply. At least demand mandatory labeling for GMO-based foods, like what exists in the EU. - william3 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 18:44:19 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8577/54/#pc_10790 .....Brazil will not oblige Switzerland and the EU to accept such products if we dont like them for whatever well known reasons ! Otherwise we will oblige you to include low quality and GM Emmenthal.....into your daily food, including your national feijado !!! -;)))) - ch.c. Sun, 19 Aug 2007 13:41:57 +0100
