GMO Rice: The Threat to Agricultural Workers Part 1

[bobery123]

im sorry but most of what this guy is saying in complete bull

@bobery123 the risks of GMO rice are social and physical. It is also clear that the GM research agenda is driven by companies whose primary interest is profit and not human need. The recent scandal regarding GM brinjal/eggplant in India reinforces what many have always said: the precautionary principle must apply, since the GM companies cannot be trusted.

@iufasia i presume you mean th GM AUBERGINE incident that produced Bacillus thuringiensis (bt). ok ill admit that was a mistake, but it was a failure of the testing systems at the GM labs. you cant dispel an entire science on a few mistakes. you think there is no mistakes in medical testing? but the number of great successes of GM that you never hear of outway the number of failures. what about the green revolution that lead india from close to mass famine to food independence one of the highest

@bobery123 there is also the plagiarism of corporate materials used for the assessments of the Bt Brinjal trial. India, according to the UN, is: "home to about 25 percent of the world's hungry poor, 43 per cent of children under the age of five years are malnourished and more than half of all pregnant women aged between 15 and 49 years suffer from anaemia." The Green Revolution failed (and hybrid seeds have nothing to do with GM anyway).
