What action has been taken to try and prevent the technology developing?

What action has been taken to try and prevent the technology developing?

the Obama administration has failed to respond to the public outcry against GMO's some states are starting to take action in places like Washington state where over 90 percent of the consumer base is demanding that items containing genetically modified organisms be labeled to warn people about what they are buying. Measure 522 would require not only all the foods containing GMO's to be labeled, but seeds and seed stock as well. The wildly popular measure has been targeted for opposition by the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) who, not surprisingly, is representing the special interests with their own motivations for defeating labeling measures. But who is behind the

On October 18, 2013 the state's Attorney General sued the GMA, accusing them of violating federal campaigning laws which require such organizations to publicly disclose their list of donors. A list that the GMA fought to keep hidden from voters and consumers a like. Once the law suit was in play, the GMA agreed to finally release the list of names which was published by the Seattle Times and reads like a who's who list of food manufacturing companies with many contributing upwards of $1million or more to prevent consumers from learning what is in the food they sell them. Names like Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Co, Mars Bar, Nestle, Con-Agra, General Mills, and Campbell Soup were just a few of the companies on the list.


Stop the GM Apple
 

1. Write to your provincial agriculture minister and ask them to take action to protect the apple growers in your area from the GM apple.
2. Write or call your federal Member of Parliament. You can look up their contacts using your postal code at www.parl.gc.ca
3. In BC, you can join provincial action here.

What are the problems with this technology?

                                                    GM Foods Research

What are the problems with this technology?

• Animals have become seriously ill or died from GE foods like bees and butterflies 
• GMOs cross pollinate and their seeds can travel.
• GMOs harm the environment.
• GM crops and their associated herbicides can harm birds, insects, amphibians, marine ecosystems, and soil organisms
• A lot of food that we eat today contains genetically modified ingredients and usually without our knowledge.
• The problem of food shortages is a political and economic problem.
• Food shortages and hunger are -- and will be -- experienced by the poorer nations.
• GE Food is an expensive technology that the farmers of the developing nations would not be able to afford easily.

What foods are affected by this technology?


Technology has dramatically improved and reshaped every part of our lives. It has hardly left any aspect of our existence untouched. It has revolutionized the way we work, entertain ourselves and even the things we eat.

Chemicals, heavy metals, parasites, fungi, viruses and bacteria can cause food borne illness. Bacteria related food poisoning is the most common, but fewer than 20 of the many thousands of different bacteria actually are the culprits. More than 90 percent of the cases of food poisoning each year are caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, Clostridium perfringens, Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Bacillus cereus, and Entero-pathogenic Escherichia coli.

What is the science behind genetically modified foods?

A genetically modified food is a food product derived in whole or part from a genetically modified organism (GMO) such as a crop plant, animal or microbe such as yeast.

Genetically modified foods have been available since the 1990s.

gm on food is really bad because you don't really know what chemicals they have put on for example your apple that look so shiny and good witch actually could be really brown but if you see a brow spot on your apple most people would go like "eww im not buying that" but its actually better to eat the one that don't have any bad chemicals on it than a apple with. 

this is really bad to the nature

URL	An Internet address URL = Uniform Resource Locator
Export	To format data in such a way that it can be used by another application. An application that can export data can create a file in a format that another application understands, enabling the two programs to share the same data. The two programs might be different types of word processors, or one could be a word processor while the other could be a database management system.
Import	To use data produced by another application. The ability to import data is very important in software applications because it means that one application can complement another. Many programs, for example, are designed to be able to import graphics in a variety of formats. The opposite of importing is exporting, which refers to the ability of one application to format data for another application.
