Poison on the Platter
Filed under Environment, 6 Comments,
Poison on the Platter, is an eye-opening film, made by Mahesh Bhatt and Ajay Kanchan, illustrating how all of our lives are gonna be (adversely) affected by genetically modified foods.
It is no more a farmer’s issue alone, it’s a matter of the consumers’ right to food safety. You and I wouldn’t even be able to separate/choose a normal Brinjal from/over a GM one, if Bt Brinjal – a GM crop produced by the mighty agri-MNC Monsanto – is let through by our corrupt regulatory body.
Let’s put up strong resistance, demanding a ban on GM food/crops for 5 years, until they are proven safe for human consumption by independent, long-term studies.

Hybridization is a natural process. It is integral with evolution itself. A sweeping condemnation of all regulators is a figment of the imagination: it is against the public interest as well. It is true that consumers should have rights to informed choices, but food safety concerns about modified foods are not well founded in scientific facts.

If hybridization is a natural process, then let nature do the job and not man! And for all those corporations as Monsanto and their wonder workers plus those who side with them who believe their GMO are safe, lock them in their own experimental places and make them eat their products for at least 15 years. If after that time they are in better health than before, maybe I would look to see if I be willing to take a chance. After all if they are that sure their GM’s are so good and safe for us to eat; they should be more than happy to eat it first.

Satyabroto, this isn’t naturally occuring hybidization! This is dangerous! I agree with Estrella, I don’t want the government or Monsanto or anyone else experimenting on me or my child!!!

uhhh yeah, pretty much all the foods you eat have undergone selective breeding and artificial evolution. Just take wild corn or wild cabbage as a perfect example. you’re already eating modified food, science is just taking it one step farther and removing decades of splicing and artificial selection

Just another sheepie, thinking like that will cause them to continue to get away with using us as lab rats! You keep eating it and die of cancer or lesions of the brain, but give us a choice in what we eat. We don’t want to be test dummies!

Genetic modification compared to selective breeding or hybridization is completely different.Genetic modification takes genes from unrelated species and inserts them into host DNA,using crude and unnatural processes.Forcing fish genes into strawberry DNA with a gene gun is not the same as crossing two types of tomatoes.
