The Earth is flat, pigs were invented by Monsanto, and genetically modified organisms are safe. ” Right ” www.greenpeace.org www.greenpeace.org While scientific progress on molecular biology has a great potential to increase our understanding of nature and provide new medical tools, it should not be used as justification to turn the environment into a giant genetic experiment by commercial interests. The biodiversity and environmental integrity of the world’s food supply is too important to our survival to be put at risk ! What’s wrong with genetic engineering (GE)? Genetic engineering enables scientists to create plants, animals andmicro-organisms by manipulating genes in a way that does not occurnaturally. These genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can spread through natureand interbreed with natural organisms, thereby contaminating non ‘GE’environments and future generations in an unforeseeable anduncontrollable way. Their release is ‘genetic pollution’ and is a major threat because GMOs cannot be recalled once released into the environment. Because of commercial interests, the public is being denied theright to know about GE ingredients in the food chain, and thereforelosing the right to avoid them despite the presence of labelling lawsin certain countries. Support farmers who are being forced to pay Monsanto to have their fields contaminated by genetically modified organisms ! MONSANTO IS EVIL !
