Genetic Engineering
Bob, here is attached 2 studies.
the first shows the significant lowering in soy yield. Funny how this study directly contradicts the claims made by monsanto. This is because their studies dont take into accout the dwarfed root systems of their Round up redy soy. These small roots didn't make a big difference in green house studies but in the real world even a small drout would kill the plants off.
The second is a study on the cross contamination of US crops on remote regions in Mexico. This is the biggest danger or GM. Once you grow a grow out doors you can NEVER ā??recallā? your produce. The geneā??s can never be recovered. This we are making a huge risk, by releasing them.
this coupled with the lack of testing is my main point of opposition
I saw David Suzuki speak on this topic and I though his words were very wise:
Something like:
ā??I have no doubt in my mind that amazing things will come from this new power of genetic modification. But we are proceeding too fast and taking to large of risksā?
