    Dear ILs,

    Today i learnt an alarming news from Greenpeace( a voluntary organisation) website about Genetically Modified food...which is about to introduce in INDIA also.

    As I red,the first ever genetically modified crop to be grown in India will be Bt.Brinjal, which is under the process of approval by Ministry of Environment & several authorities.

    Several NGO's are protesting against the commercial cultivation of GM food in India largely on grounds of its allegedly toxic health effects. Several European countries have banned GM crops.

    For more details log on to www.greenpeace.in

    So dear frnds, pls pour light on this GM food.
    Is genetically modified food Helpful or Harmful?
    How it effects our lives & our dear Earth?


    Lets discuss...

    regards,
    Sandeepa.

    Hi Sandeep,
    Great timing!! Infact I thought of posting the same.
    These genetically modified foods will prone to health issues. Ayina, meeku ee poem telise vuntundi..
    Vankaya vanti koora pankajamuga seetha vanti bharyamani
    Sankaruni vanti devudu.....etc....
    So, Vankaya is the king of all vegetables, its an universal truth.
    Once BT brinjal introduces, all farmers will be adviced to go for BT brinjal cropping whcih results in high health issues.
    So, manaki tondarlo mana Vankaya kanumarugavabotondi....
    Poor Vankaya..............

    I am not against talking regional languages in the common forums, but it will be helpful to put up a translation as well for others to follow.

    I am totally against this GM foods.When many scientists are/were saying that Green Revolution itself has led to this much use of pesticides/fertilizers, we shouldn't allow 2nd Green Revloution as politicians say.This GM crops definitely have a lot of negative impacts and now hearing that India is ready to introduce GM foods makes me sad.

    Most of the allergic reactions are due to proteins and in this Genetic Modification, its the structure of protein that is modified.So will definitely cause allergy.Just these companies like Monsanto can't experiment these issues with so-called high-level countries citizens.But we don't give that much importance to our citizens' lives that they are ready to start experiments with us.:spin:spin:spin
