More GM misery inflicted on India, GEAC allows import of GM food.

[Guest guest]

As per the enclosed report, not only Bt Cotton, Bt Brinjal, Soyabean oil, GM drugs too have been allowed for clinical trials. I am forced to ask, how can we explain this madness? The whole of EU and many other countries including Brazil and Japan have expressed grave concerns over GM produce. America too is divided on the issue with protests from concerned citizen. What has our government done to educate the public over GM food dangers? Why are we stepping in where the angels fear to tread?

WHY IS THE INDIAN PRESS AND MEDIA SILENT ON THIS ISSUE?

Horrified at the developments,

Jagannath.

Despite all the suffering and suicides it has already inflicted via GM

crops, India's GM regulatory body - the GEAC - has just approved the

commercial release of 36 more varieties of transgenic Bt cotton and it is

also considering approving Br brinjals!

 

Details of all their decisions in their press release below.
