Food minister, Owen Patterson, has described
opposition to allowing GM crops to be produced in Britain as 'complete
nonsense'. For the past few years Britain has remained free from these
'Frankenstein foods', the effects of which on humans and on the wider
environment are not fully understood. Creating these products involves
interfering with plant DNA, and there are serious dangers of long-term effects
on animals or humans who consume them. The plan to introduce these crops has
nothing to do with feeding more people or preventing famine, but is another
means by which multinational companies and pharmaceutical giants such as
Monsanto will gain a monopoly of crops grown throughout the world. Organic
famers in the US have already been forced out of business by these giants and
now they wish to expand into European markets.
Please would you consider signing the petition which I have launched at Avaaz?
