Why in so many countries that have food problems is there such a resistance to genetically modified corn?
I’ve answered a couple of questions about this on here before…here’s what’s going on. While it may seem great to have access to larger, more resilient crops, genetically modified food has many drawbacks. Some can be dangerous of even deadly. For instance, cows that get injected with rBGH, a genetically altered bovine growth hormone can pass along those hormones via its milk or meat. This has caused documented cases of young girls starting their period at age 7 or 8. They drank milk that was produced from cows that were given this hormone and it passed that hormone’s effects down to the consumers.

These people had soy allergies and never knew that their corn had been modified and it cost them their lives. Finally, these types of crops tend to make insects and weeds that thrive on them and grow around them evolve into more resilient organisms themselves. This mea
