Q17: Are GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) foods bad?<br />
products down the throats of farmers and<br />
consumers.<br />
8. GMO, by their very nature, are unnatural. Many<br />
GMO foods have genetic material borrowed from<br />
other organisms, often crossing several<br />
taxonomical boundaries. For example, genetical<br />
material from round worm is being inserted into<br />
lamb meant <strong>for</strong> human consumption. Human<br />
genes are being inserted in rice. Many GMO<br />
varieties have genetic material designed to<br />
produce toxins. Although these toxins are<br />
targeted at traditional pests affecting the plants,<br />
humans will also have to consume these toxins.<br />
9. Toxological effects of GMO foods are either not<br />
per<strong>for</strong>med or glossed over by manufacturers and<br />
regulatory agencies. Front companies † are used as<br />
special-purpose vechicles to test safety of GMO<br />
varieties. These companies are almost always<br />
funded by <strong>government</strong>s. If a scandal breaks out,<br />
<strong>government</strong>s are left to fight the battle. If<br />
nothing negative leaks out, the front company<br />
and the IP is bought over by a GMO giant.<br />
10. GMO companies bribe/threaten lawmakers. They<br />
also threaten/sue farmers who are not playing by<br />
their rules.<br />
