The International Service for the Acquisition of Agribiotic Applications has released data on genetically modified (GM) crops around the world. Here’s a visualization/map of the data, via our sister site, Planetsave (click to view the full-sized map):
Were any of the crops or countries that are growing GMO foods surprising to you?
The European Union and the United States have strong disagreements over the EU’s regulation of genetically modified food. The US claims these regulations violate free trade agreements, the EU counter-position is that free trade is not truly free without informed consent.
You can thank George Bush Sr. for the nondisclosure granted to monsanto! It was his administration that snuck that by consumers! It will be a relief when the president’s office no longer includes gmo salesperson under responsibilities!
All GMO’s, genetically modified foods MUST BE BANNED PERMANENTLY worldwide! The devastating health effects which are following with horrible results will and are coming out in greater details ever imagined. The long term effects are sterilization, cellular and DNA damage and many other serious health and diseases created for mass depopulation under conspiratorial profiteering. There is zero benefit to GMO’s only reasons for food control and mass profiting. IT MUST BE STOPPED at all levels!
If corporations rule with $$$$ to elected officials who will overcome the supreme court??
DON’T PANIC… BUY ORGANIC
I do love the manner in which you have framed this issue and it really does supply me a lot of fodder for thought. On the other hand, from everything that I have witnessed, I simply trust when other feedback pile on that people today remain on issue and don’t embark upon a soap box regarding some other news du jour. All the same, thank you for this outstanding piece and while I do not necessarily concur with the idea in totality, I value the standpoint.
