The above is a news article from The Epoch Times (World Section) for the week ending June 29th 2009.
It's factually written by Lisa Schlein which starts off like this,"According to the FAO (Food Agriculture Organization), one-sixth of all people on Earth are going hungry. It said almost all of the billion people who are not getting enough to eat, live in developing countries.
The Director of FAO's Agricultural Development Economics Division , Kostas Stamoulis, said it is the first time in human history taht there are so many hungry people in the world..... The FAO warned the hunger crisis poses a serious risk for world peace and serenity."
Lisa isn't lying, neither is FAO. But something isn't right - can you tell what and why?
These hungry people want food for their children; they want jobs to support their families.

Detecting/Getting Rid of Genetically Modified Foods
"The breeze, the birds and the bees aid cross-pollination. Wind and water move seed from field to field. Human and machine errors lead to mixing of seed during processing, distribution and planting. The same is true of grain handling. These are just a few reasons why biotech contamination is happening and will accelerate." - editor of CropChoice
This is unfortunately true for Canada's GMed corn - their pollen may have reached as far as Mexico because wind has carried those GMed corn even before the government burnt the GMed corn crops. How do you eat safe organic foods? How can you protect organic agriculture?
Don't go out to get a fluorometer, at least not yet! Firstly, you must only choose to eat organic foods AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AFFORD and are able to find. The other way of detecting genetically modified fruits is to test them yourself.

How does GMO affect Humans? (What the Experts Say)
GM foods have been used in 'controlled' experiments and with only animals/insects. The gene inserted into GM soy, for example, transfers into the DNA of bacteria living inside our intestines and continues to function |

GMed Animals for Vaccines, Insulin, etc
Genetic modification technology is routinely used in thousands of research laboratories worldwide and has resulted in many new products and processes such as industrial enzymes and medicines such as insulin and vaccines. (This is one reason why I have publicly mentioned in the past that I don't trust hospitals as much as I used to trust because they aren't as safe as they used to be; skeptics usually laugh or ridicule this piece of info I used to give and called me "self-medicating idiot".)

Genetically-Modified (GM) Food Experiments Conducted on Animals
Have you heard of/seen Glow-In-the-Dark (genetically-modified monkeys)? While some GMed animals can now glow in the dark (monkeys, fish and puppies), these animals cannot survive in the wild without their natural camouflage.

An accidentally cut piece of apple left in "highly-trafficked" area of the kitchen attracted ants within 30 minutes. But have you ever seen a fruit where no ants nor flies come to it after it's opened for more than 9 hours in tropical Singapore? In room temperature and away from direct sunlight. I have - just 3 weeks ago (May 2009)! It was a genetically-modified durian !
The same results for MARGARINE |
