someone asked a few days ago about GM food in brazil - it a very big issue in brazil
nobody wants it except big biz
patent-owners want to charge royalties
agribusiness is dead set on fucking over poor farmers everywhere
whether or not GM food is harmful is not the point: the point is that there is absolutely no need for GM food at all when grain rots in silos all over the world
i looked around, found something, and sent it in - i feel like apologizing for being presumptious
unfortunately, my sister died of AIDS a few years ago - you couldn't have known this
did you hear that monsanto was just bought by GE?
we do what we can
goodbye
-You´re absolutely right. The main point of GM is that 1-They are not necessary to eliminate hunger around the world 2-They will make third world farmers even more dependent on foreign enterprises. -I think we shouldn´t recognize intellectual propert rights over -therapeutic drugs and living organisms. -I would favor GM if it was a public domain technology. Otherwise -we live better withouth them.
