Can GM foods be contained?
Most of the worlds grown food are used to feed animals, not humans. We then eat the meat. Already there are countless cases of farmers who conducted their own research on pigs and cows to see first hand the effect that GM foods have on their livestock. When they eat GM corn, the animals reduced in fertility. Once they go back to their original diet they eventually recover, but then there still is debate on whether they really DO recover now that their genetic makeup has been tampered with. Let’s not forget that the vast majority of these pigs and cows that are fed GM foods have been bred specifically for human consumption. Once the genetic change has occurred, how do we know this won’t be passed to offspring? I personally think this is pretty unlikely, but still… is it worth the risk? Surely we should not be subjected to GM foods without even being told about it, or being asked to evaluate the research ourselves? Once they are let loose on the South African population (which is now g
