Just like we believe thalidomide causes birth defects, that mercury or lead can poison us, that red dye #10 is carcinogenic, etc. etc.
I have read dozens of frightening articles about many of the problems this film touched on:
The cross-contamination problem that leads to farmers being sued for having Monsanto seed in their fields. I've read dozens of examples of bankrupted farmers. From an economic standpoint alone, untested GMOs are disruptive to agricultural practices that allowed humans to survive since the Neolithic Era.
The mysterious bee deaths have been reported for sometime. There are many who believe there may be a link to GMOs.
The suicide deaths of Indian farmers who were convinced to grow BT Cotton making news in India of late.
The new resistant insects and weeds that farmers are encountering in GMO fields.
The cozy relationships between lobbiests, regulators, lawmakers, and judges which allow corporations to act in ways that benefit them financially even when they fail to take public interest into consideration.
I don't know how anyone can say there are no potential serious risks involved with GMOs.
The bottom line is that as humans we have the right to reject the Frankenscience. We are not obligated to accept chemical contamination of our foods. We have a right to choose organic products over GMO. And a right to know when our foods are altered, since some of us will not think they are fit for human consumption. We are learning about the benefits of good nutrition every day. If we believe Monsanto is poisoning our food supply, we have the obligation to raise objections. If their business practices are robbing us of the ability to feed ourselves, it is imperative we stop them.
You reject as bullshit the possibility of genetically altered strawberries with fish genes in them? So do I, so keep them, off my dinner table.
