U.N. Backs Genetically Modified Foods

mobiustrip44 writes: "The United Nations has issued a report recommending the distribution of genetically modified foods to suffering nations. Of course, farbeit from the U.N. to consider the safety of using such food products. According to one Plastic reader, "No matter that many of these [countries] do not suffer from a lack of food (it's the civil instability that places the food in the middle of some tribal/political debate). The [U.N.'s] agency—working closely with members of biotech and agricultural companies—has pledged to help countries afford (read: go into to debt to obtain) G.M. crops that are suitably modern." Greenpeace, thankfully, is already organizing mass-resistance to the U.N.'s decision. You can learn more about the dangers of genetically modified foods by visiting Monsantos.com, The Organic Consumers Association and The International Center for Technology Assesment."
