So, Caroline Spelman wants Britain to embrace GM Crops, not one of which has been passed as safe for human consumption by any independent scientific body.
It beggars belief that Ms Spelman is unaware of the link between GM Crops and the 25,000 Indian Farmers suicides over the past two years? If not she should resign,and if she is aware and has chosen to back GM crops regardless, she should be sacked.
This is the GM technology unleashed:-
In India over the last two years, an average of a 1,000 farmers a month have committed suicide following the failure for the second year running, of their GM crops. That's 25,000 deaths, 25,000 widows and up to a 100,000 children made orphans and for what? The unmitigated greed and determination of the American Chemical Company, Monsanto, to gain control of the world's food supply.
What easy targets these poor farmers were for Monasnato's salesmen, whose promises of bumper yields of pest resistant crops; persuaded them to switch to the new GM seeds.
Most farmers had borrowed the money to buy the new expensive seeds and when they failed were forced to borrow again to buy seeds for the second sowing. When these seeds failed too, and having no means to repay their loans, they resorted to suicide
Last year, 2009, Monsanto’s GM Crops
failed in South Africa too, and caused mass deaths of the cattle grazing on the GM
Cotton.It is alleged that GM Corn causes cancer, organ and liver failure in rats; but the guinea pigs, that’s you and I are told not to worry.
Monsanto are accused of lying about Aspartame, the poison they marketed an artificial sweetener in pop and yogurts. Last year they were convicted by the Highest Court in France of lying about its weed killer, Round Up, being fully biodegradable.Its main ingredient, glyphosate, is a chemical classed as ‘dangerous to the environment’ by the EU; which raises the question of why it is on sale in
the UK, Ms Spelman?
Could it be that someone iin Government is taking backhanders to push for the development of GM crops in the UK and Europe? A disturbing thought, yet I can think of no other logical explanation.
One would have expected, that
following Bayer’s admission of November 2009, that it could no longer contain,
or prevent GM contamination by its crops, and was ordered to pay $2million in
compensation to two farmers in Missouri, that an immediate and total ban on the
growing of GM crops in Europe would have been imposed.
It seems that as far as American GM
crops are concerned, a pocket filler, somewhere in Government, has decreed we can all be poisoned rather than
risk upsetting their paymasters, or the good old, US of A. Meanwhile Ms Spelman, obviously unaware of, or indifferent to the threat posed by GM crops, dreams on in a world of her own.
