Genetically modified vege-men

At the international symposium of manufacturers of biotechnology on October the conclusion was to set 2020 as the deadline to have 100% crops by genetically modified seeds.

Accodring to the Greek magazine NEMECIS, thus far the 95% of the seeds has been modified and comparing to 2006, about 70 million more ectars have been plowed with modified seeds.

The goal is clear: two or three companies are about to replace the small companies providing seeds. Thus far, within 3 years, 42% of small farms have been reduced.

What’s even more clear, however not seriously taken into account, is that the nature’s violation will lead to an endless modification of the food chain and therefore the destabilization of the whole ecosystem.

Sooner or later, all these changes will affect the human body via the food chain and they will cause major and irreversible changes to human health or even new diseases.

Danger pre-gates

Dr. Arpad Pustzai from the Rowett Institute of Schotland discovered that the modified potatos caused serious implications at the immune system of guinea pigs, which would also affect humen if they consume these products.

Strangely enough, the announcement of his discovery caused to his dismissal from the Institute, but led to no further caution.

Dr Samuel Epstein brought in public attention that the genetically modified hormone “Bovine Growth Hormone” , known as rBGH, can cause malignant tumor at the breast, bowel and prostate.

However, the hormone has been used in an injective form to cows for more than 15 years and it was proved that just the 19% of the hormone could be destroyed during the pasteurization process.

There are many more examples on how unbearably mistaken is the perspective of creating a monocratory of biotechnology by modifying the food chain.

No questions that science has offered massive means to overcome immense obstacles in the past and is always working on our own favour, but it becomes extremely dangerous when we use this kind of power defying the apparent risks.

In this case, we put in danger thousands of species which will eventually end up in our lunch, invade our stomach, devastate our immune system, and still this isn’t considered as a crime against humanity.
