For the first time, Europe's most senior lawmakers are publicly doubting the safety of GE crops.

Anthea Parsons - Friday, 2 June 2006
l was at the state CWA conference in NSW last month where l met another woman who had been to the International conference of Country Woman of the World. There were two American woman spouting the fantastic qualities of the new genetically modified food. A woman from Tanzania rose from the congregation and spoke about their claims. She said that the GM crops were fantastic in the first year, grew and cropped well. But in the subsequent 3 years they suffered great hardship as where the GM crop had been, the new crops in the area did very little.
Alright if you can go down the supermarket for a top up of your groceries but not if you depend on your crops soely for your next meal! |
